== == Yes, human eyes grow dramatically in size from bith until about 15 to 16 years of age. The size of the human eye from front to back is about 17 millimeters(mm) at birth, and human eyes grow to about 21 mm by two years of age, and about 23 to 24 mm by the time you reach your teenage years, in which it has grown to about 7/8th of an inch. This eye growth is in the "axial length" of the eye (front to back), and not in the part in which one sees through when looking at something.
So, to answer the question, do human eyes grow?. Yes, human eyes grow until you are about 16 years old.

∙ 14y agoThe dimensions differ among adults by only one or two millimeters. The vertical measure, generally less than the horizontal distance, is about 24 mm among adults, at birth about 16-17 mm. The eyeball grows rapidly, increasing to 22.5-23 mm (approx. 0.89 in) by the age of three years. From then to age 13, the eye attains its full size.
it continues to grow until about 30 when e.g. shortsightedness usually stabilizes.

∙ 16y agoThe eye doesnt grow as the rest of the body. It may enlarge during the first 5 years by about 5% but remains the same size throughout your lifetime.

Your eyes are always the same size from birth?
No, your eyes do grow. Slightly however. An infant's eyes are about 19mm and will grow to 24-25mm in adulthood. This appearingly slight growth may be cause for many to believe that the same size eyes you're born with are the same size eyes you possess as an adult, however this just isn't the case.

Will scientists one day be able to grow whole organs?
This is a complicated subject that doesn't have a specific answer. Generally, organs grow larger as we develop into adulthood. Some organs, like the liver, regenerate, even when damaged. Others, like the brain, do not develop new cells. However this does not mean that the brain does not 'grow' in other ways. I'm sorry if this seems vague, but it is difficult to define 'grow' in this context. Obviously, if all of our organs continued to get bigger with age then old people would be huge! On a side note, there is a common misconception that your eyes do not grow. Actually, your eyes grow by 50% from childhood into adulthood. The confusion arises because the eyes of a baby are proportionally larger to its head than those of an adult.
