why don't our eyes also grow as any other part?

According to scientists our eyes remain the same in size throughout our life but our ears and nose keep gaining bits of mass as we grow older.As far as the eyes are concerned, they grow on average only by 7mm till you reach puberty. That is 40% growth in the size from the original. The eyes stop growing after puberty and if the eyes keep on growing, there’s always a risk of myopia or short-sightedness.
