A newborns eyes only grow from birth to adulthood a total of about 1 mm more in diameter, so they virtually are the size they are going to be when they are born. How weird it that!?
The human body is so awesome! Pick up a basic text on embryology sometime. Fascinating!

All babies are born with full sized eye balls and eye sockets, The surrounding skin on the face grows as the child grows.

The size of their eyes should grow. After a baby is born, he/she is not used to so much light, so their eyes are not wide opened. It is also because babies tend to feel sleepy since they are used to sleeping inside the stomach. Give your baby some time to grow.

You are born with full sized eyes, and your body grows around these.

babys have full sized eyes because they can't grow like other body parts because the don't eat to make nothing grow. Carrots will only increase eye site.

The eyes that you have now are the same size as they were when you were born.

They are full size at birth, it's natures way of ensuring that you get loads of attention...........very few people can ignore the alluring eyes of a baby and will give in to endless hours of cradling and comforting, which is just what the baby needs. In this instance nature equals nurture!!! Good question

The average newborn’s eyeball is about 18 millimeters in diameter, from front to back (axial length); it grows slightly to a length of approximately 19½ millimeters as an infant; and it continues to grow gradually to a length of about 24-25 millimeters, or about 1 inch, in adulthood. (A ping-pong ball is about 1½ inch in diameter, which makes the average adult eyeball about 2/3 the size of a ping-pong ball.)
