Dear cassie3-ga;

Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting question.

?The average newborn?s eyeball is about 18 millimeters in diameter,
from front to back (axial length); it grows slightly to a length of
approximately 19½ millimeters as an infant; and it continues to grow
gradually to a length of about 24-25 millimeters, or about 1 inch, in
adulthood.  (A ping-pong ball is about 1½ inch in diameter, which
makes the average adult eyeball about 2/3 the size of a ping-pong
ball.)?
