Are our eyes the same size that they were when we were born or have they grown since then?

Yes, human eyeballs are the same size throughout life, ie a baby's eyeballs are the same size as adults'. The same is true of the cochlea, the mechanism inside your inner ear that facilitates balance and orientation.

The eyes grow 50 to 75% between birth and adolescence, during which time the body as a whole may grow 400% or more (linearly, not in terms of weight)

Yes and no. If you have eye trauma, your eyes will regenerate (new cell growth). But I don't think they ever change size over your lifetime.

i think they must grow with us, every other part of us does,
and if you look at a babys eyes they are smaller that an adults eyes,
and wouldn't it look strange if a baby had adult size eyes.

the skin around our eyes streches and expands and folds "lines" ect. i've always wandered this myself since my eyes are quite small.

They stop at about 10 years old.
Thats why kids look so wide eyed.
