The way that babies and infants develop their cognitive skills has long been studied and considered by scientists around the world, as they aim to identify the ways in which these newborns ultimately develop into full maturity. One of the ways that has been looked into more recently has been that of their ability to develop their eyesight, and research has identified that fascinating means by which the baby eyesight develops in the formative years that they develop.
Key Takeaways:
- Your baby’s eyesight develops gradually from birth through six months of age.
- At the 16 week gestation period, your baby’s eyes become sensitive to light and they open around the 27 week mark.
- At approximately six months of age, your baby will have fully developed vision and hopefully 20/20 eyesight.
“Around 16 weeks, baby’s eyes are sensitive to light, though they won’t open until about 27 weeks. And even once baby’s eyes are fully developed, he/she won’t be able to see much.”
