According to the text Ocular Pathology by D. J. Apple and M. F. Rabb (Mosby, 1985) the diameter of a newborn's eyeball is about 18 mm; it increases rapidly during the first year of life, but after this, growth is very slow. The reasons behind eyeball growth are not precisely known. This was discussed in a great book by Richard J. Goss called The physiology of growth (Academic Press, 1978, pp. 191-199).
