A baby is born with the eye structures needed for vision, but must learn how to use them together to actually be able to "see." Although newborns can't see very well, they can see quite a bit. Newborns can differentiate between light and dark, but can't see all colors. They are also extremely nearsighted, meaning that far away objects are blurry. This nearsightedness may explain why babies seem to gaze at nearby objects. Studies have shown that infants enjoy looking at faces, but they probably aren't able to see much facial detail. Your baby may appear to focus intently on your face, but he's probably studying your hairline or the outline of your face. An infant is not able to see fine details.

∙ 14y agoNew born babies can see very little other than light and motion. At 3 months they can make out faces (and return your smile). By 6 months an infant can distinguish between objects, such as a bottle or a stuffed toy. By age 2 years, most children have about 20/60 vision (at 20 feet they can make out what a normal adult can see at 60 feet). The part of the brain that processes vision develops until about age 8, which is when a child with no vision impairments has 20/20 vision.
