Does the size of eye ball increase?!


Question:

Does the size of eye ball increase?

Does the size of eye ball increase from the baby to adult? If show what's the percentage?


Answers:

I think the reason for confusion on this matter is because in proportion to a babies body their eyes are significantly larger then adults... and people assume that our eyes stay the same size from then, almost like we "grow" into them. However that is not true, our eyes continue to grow!
The eyeball grows mostly during the first year of life... but it doesn't stop there! The eyeball does continue to grow as a child grows and even through adolescence. This is why as a child grows their eyesight can change or get worse!
I am not sure about the percentage it grows from an infant to adult.... but I read this in one of my textbooks awhile back and I am 100 percent sure that your eyeball does continue to grow until adulthood! :)
