At what stage will new born baby start seeing

Newborn babies are able to see, but their vision is limited compared to adults. Here's a breakdown of their visual development:

Newborn stage (0-4 weeks):

• Newborns can see, but their vision is blurry and limited to about 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) in front of them.
• They can detect movement and changes in light and dark, but they don't have a clear sense of depth or distance.
• Their eyes are not yet coordinated, and they may have trouble focusing on a single point.

Infancy stage (4-12 weeks):

• By 4-6 weeks, babies can see better and can detect faces and objects at a distance of about 12-18 inches (30-45 cm).
• They can start to track moving objects and recognize familiar faces, such as their caregivers.
• Their eyes are still not fully coordinated, and they may have trouble focusing on distant objects.

Early infancy stage (12-24 weeks):

• By 12-16 weeks, babies can see more clearly and can detect objects and faces at a distance of about 2-3 feet (60-90 cm).
• They can start to recognize and respond to simple shapes and colors.
• Their eyes are becoming more coordinated, and they can start to focus on distant objects.

Late infancy stage (24 weeks and beyond):

• By 24 weeks, babies can see almost as well as adults, with a range of about 10-20 feet (3-6 meters).
• They can recognize and respond to complex shapes, colors, and patterns.
• Their eyes are fully coordinated, and they can focus on objects at varying distances.

Keep in mind that every baby develops at their own pace, and some may see more clearly or have better vision than others. If you have concerns about your baby's vision, it's always best to consult with your pediatrician or a pediatric ophthalmologist.
