Here’s an article highlighting the developmental milestones of your baby’s vision: http://www.babycentre.co.uk/a6508/developmental-milestones-sight An infant’s vision improves greatly In the first year. From the blurry vision that he/she may have, to being able to see quite clearly. At birth, he/she can detect light, shapes and motion. He/she can only focus on things that are 20-30cm away. He/she will be able to make eye contact by the end of the first month. At three to five months old, the baby starts to differentiate different colours and could focus on smaller objects. His/her depth perception develops and would be able to focus on objects that are 1m away. The baby could also track movements of objects around him/her. By the time the baby reaches one year of age, he/she should be able to see quite clearly. However, his/her vision will continue to develop and would likely be fully developed by three to five years old.
They can see pretty clearly by the time they are 12 months old but their visions will not be fully developed until they are 3 to 5 years old. By one month old, they can make eye contact and focus on objects about 12 inches away. By three to four months, they can differentiate between colours and focus on smaller objects. They can also focus on objects up to 3 feet away. If you move an object from side to side a few inches from their face, they will follow it with their eyes, a skill known as tracking.
