Does your eyeball shape change through life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some more than other: People with extreme myopia (nearsightedness) may have progressive elongation of the eyeballs. Tight eyelids in youth may cause astigmatism (vertical), which becomes horizontal as the eyelids become loose with age.
