0 sources for · 3 against

Evidence directly refutes the claim that human eyeballs do not grow after birth, demonstrating that axial elongation and globe growth continue postnatally through infancy and childhood.

Evidence against · 3
Human ocular biometry
2012 · cited by 92
This study of human ocular biometry found that globe antero-posterior length and diameters increase rapidly during prenatal development and continue to experience small increases for up to one year after birth.

The analysis

The claim is that human eyeballs do not grow after birth. Multiple retrieved papers (such as [2], [4], and [8]) explicitly discuss postnatal eye growth, axial elongation, and emmetropization in infants and children. Therefore, the claim is clearly refuted by empirical data.
