Saw this article from Todays paper:
Ever wonder how your baby sees the world?
Well, here's what doctors have discovered.
Newborns under 1 month of age have vision that is about 40 times blurrier than yours.
They cant decipher fine lines or colours - which is why they respond to black and white patterns and deeply contrasting colours. They focus best on things 15-30cm away.
Between 2-3 months, they start to distinguish bright colours and see a bit better. But they dont develop depth perception until 4-5 months. That is when it becomes easier for them to reach for small objects. But their vision is still about 8 times blurrier than normal.
Somewhere between 8-12 months they start to see as well as an adult, with keen depth perception. Their short-range vision may still be a bit stronger than their long range, but that will usually change by their 1st birthday.
