In your early to mid 40's the muscles that keep your retina in place directly behind your eyes relax a bit and you lose that close up ability to focus. This is the reason for bifocal lenses. As you age futher glaucoma and cataracts can become a problem as well.

Your eyes are always the same size from birth?

No, your eyes do grow. Slightly however. An infant's eyes are about 19mm and will grow to 24-25mm in adulthood. This appearingly slight growth may be cause for many to believe that the same size eyes you're born with are the same size eyes you possess as an adult, however this just isn't the case.

Do your eyes grow?

== == 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.
