My daughter had, and there's no way of putting this nicely, little beady eyes when she was born. She now has big princess Diana eyes and everyone remarks on them.

Look at the rest of your family, do most of them have small or big eyes? That will help give you an idea

Haha, our baby had beady eyes as well and we always used to chuckle about them, about how they were probably watching us and plotting something deadly - they now have the biggest, most beautiful, blue eyes that everyone comments on.

The eye balls themselves don't grow but the optical bones will grow and change.

Most of my children were born with big blue eyes and long lashes - then my youngest arrived with deep set eyes and little lashes. He’s now seven and I’d say since about five his eye shape has changed massively and he is much more similar to his siblings now.

Yeah, a little change occurs with the passage of time
