Does the eye stay the same size throughout your life?

Question

Does the eye stay the same size throughout your life?

Answer 1

apparently once you are like 10 your ears stay the same for life???

same with eyes????

Answer 2

I don't believe they do.  I had large blue eyes as a youngster.  I have very poor eyesight and wear glasses.  My eyes have definitely got smaller as I have got older.  I am 55 years old.

Answer 3

No, but although it grows it does not grow proportionately with the rest of the body - the rest of the body grows much more than the eyes.  The growth of the eye, especially in the younger years is the main contributing factor for eyes becoming more nearsighted (myopic) during these years.
