At birth, an infants eyes are about two-thirds the size of adult eyes. From the second year of life until puberty, eye growth progressively slows. After puberty, eye growth is negligible.

"Yes, human eyes grow dramatically in size from bith until about 15 to 16 years of age. The size of the human eye from front to back is about 17 millimeters(mm) at birth, and human eyes grow to about 21 mm by two years of age, and about 23 to 24 mm by the time you reach your teenage years, in which it has grown to about 7/8th of an inch. This eye growth is in the "axial length" of the eye (front to back), and not in the part in which one sees through when looking at something.

So, to answer the question, do human eyes grow?. Yes, human eyes grow until you are about 16 years old."
