It's not so much as how they retract their eyes (im pretty sure they use muscles for that) as to what the eye retraction actually does. Frogs actually retract their eyes in order to swallow. Their eyes get pulled into the sockets and bulge in the top of their mouths, which helps them swallow. It is strange, but true. XD
