Why does the eye of a cyclone get smaller as the cyclone get bigger?

It's not necessarily that the eye gets smaller as the cyclone gets bigger so much as the eye gets bigger when the cyclone gets stronger. There is no direct correlation between the size of a cyclone and its intensity. All cyclones are low pressure systems. The lower the pressure, the stronger the cyclone. The eye wall, which immediately surrounds the eye, marks the point where the inward force of the low pressure is balanced with the tendency for air to get flung outward by the rotation. A lower pressure means a stronger inward pull and thus a smaller eye.

Calm area of a cyclone?

In the center of a cyclone is a region called the "eye," where the weather is calm with clear skies and light winds. The eye is surrounded by the eye wall, which contains the strongest winds and heaviest rainfall in the storm. The calm area of the eye provides a temporary respite from the intense conditions experienced in the rest of the cyclone.
