Do u new born see

What a fascinating question!

Newborn babies, also known as neonates, are born with limited visual abilities. Their eyes are not fully developed, and their brain is still learning to process visual information. Here's what we know about newborn vision:

  1. Limited visual acuity: Newborns can only see objects and people at a distance of about 8-12 inches (20-30 cm). They can't focus on objects that are too close or too far away.
  2. Blurred vision: Newborns have a limited range of focus, which means that objects appear blurry and unclear. It's like looking through a foggy window.
  3. No color vision: Newborns can't see colors like we do. They can only detect shades of gray and black and white.
  4. No depth perception: Newborns don't have the ability to judge distances or perceive depth. Everything appears flat and two-dimensional.
  5. Limited field of vision: Newborns can only see objects within a narrow field of vision, about 30-40 degrees. This means they can't see much beyond what's directly in front of them.
  6. No tracking: Newborns can't follow moving objects or track their parents' faces. Their eyes are still learning to move independently and focus on a single point.

Despite these limitations, newborns are still able to:

  1. Detect movement: Newborns can detect movement and changes in light and dark.
  2. Recognize faces: Newborns can recognize their mother's face and may even be able to distinguish between different faces.
  3. Respond to visual stimuli: Newborns can respond to visual stimuli, such as looking at a toy or a person's face.

As babies grow and develop, their visual abilities improve rapidly. By around 6 months, babies can see objects clearly, track movement, and even recognize familiar faces. By 12 months, their visual acuity is similar to that of adults, and they can see colors, judge distances, and track objects with ease.
