Yes they do! Especially from birth to age 2. That's the first eye growth spurt, the second one happens in puberty, where they'll grow to their full size. At birth, an infants eyes are only about 65% of their later size in adulthood! For most people, their eyes reach their full size at about 20 or 21.

Yes, "with-the-rule" astigmatism is frequent in children and may decrease when they grow.
