Journal Entry #2: Eyesight

  • From birth- A baby can focus no further than eight to fifteen inches away. They can detect light, shapes, and movement, but anything beyond that is pretty blury. A baby can see color from birth, but they have difficulty ditinguishing similar tones.
  • 1-2 Months- A baby can consistantly focus both eyes and they can now track moving objects.
  • 4 Months- Starts to develop depth perception.
  • 5 Months- At this age, a baby gets better at spotting very small items, and tracking moving objects. They also begin working on more subtle differences in pastels.
  • 8 Months- The baby's clarity and depth perception is almost adult like at this point. They are also close to their final eye color, but there may be some subtle changes later on.
