A baby’s vision changes so much in the first year of life. Birth: Infants are very sensitive to light and can see just a bit peripherally but their central vision is still developing. 1 -3 weeks: Babies can see light and dark ranges and patterns. Larger shapes and bright colors may begin to attract their attention. They can also focus on objects directly in front of them. 1 month: Your baby may focus briefly on you but may still prefer brightly colored objects close to them. 2 months: They can follow moving objects with their eyes, but their eyes may appear crossed or wander. This is normal at this age. If one of their eyes constantly turns in toward their nose or outward, see your pediatrician. 3 months: Eyes start to work together to focus and track objects 5 months: Depth perception starts to develop and babies begin to see the world in 3D more completely 6 months: Their color vision is much more developed though still is not at adult levels. 8 months: Most babies start crawling by now which helps further develop eye-hand-foot-body coordination 9 months: They’ve got good distance vision by now and their eye color is probably the color they will have, though this can change up to age 6! They can grasp objects with their thumb and forefinger 1 year: Babies can judge distances and can throw things!
