    At what age do human eyes stop growing? My best guess is in the mid-teens.

    Eye Growth From Childhood to Adulthood
    Last Updated: Aug 16, 2013 | By Mary Bauer

    The human eye grows very little from birth to adulthood, but even small errors in its proportion can cause vision problems. Vision involves both the ability of the eye to capture images and the ability of the brain to process the signals that the eye sends. Vision deficiencies may be a result of problems from either function. Children born prematurely or with a family history of eye problems are at greater risk of developing eye health issues.


    Size

    A newborn's eye measures about .7 inches from front to back--approximately 70 percent of the size of an adult's eye. This is why babies' eyes seem large in proportion to their heads. During infancy, the eyeball grows just 1 millimeter, to a length of about .74 inches. The eye continues to grow gradually throughout childhood until it reaches a length of about 1 inch in adulthood. The protective skull cavity where the eyeball rests, sometimes called the eye socket, grows along with the eyeball.

    And even though it didn't directly answer my question, it does seem to support my thoughts.
