How far can a 3-month-old baby see

The vision of a 3-month-old baby is not fully developed. At this time, they are quite curious about things in the outside world. However, their vision can only see about 75 cm, and their visual acuity is 0.1. At this time, babies prefer to eat their hands and items in the crib. We can understand the baby's vision range at each stage, and then provide the baby with what he wants based on his vision.

[Within 1 month]

One week after birth, the baby's vision tends to be myopic. The baby can focus on objects 8 to 15 cm away and can follow moving objects with his eyes. Present a ring above the baby's head and move it vertically to observe whether the baby can immediately follow the red ring with his eyes. After a week, he will be able to see objects 3 meters away. He will also learn to track moving objects and like to look at people's faces or high-contrast patterns. The movements of his two eyes are not yet coordinated enough. When the baby is more than one month old, he can see clearly objects within 15-30 cm in front of him and can focus on objects.

【2 months】

By 2 months old, the baby's visual concentration becomes more and more obvious, and he likes to look at moving objects and familiar adult faces. Can focus on objects in a coordinated manner and distinguish colors, but cannot distinguish depth. The eyeballs can move with objects within a 90-degree range. When objects approach the eyes quickly, protective reflexes such as blinking will appear, and the child will focus on the hand for more than 5 seconds.

【3-4 months】

At 3 months old, the baby can fix his vision and see objects about 75 cm away, with a visual acuity of about 0.1. The gaze time is significantly prolonged, and the line of sight can follow moving objects. For example, when the baby is sleeping in the crib and the mother walks by, his eyes can follow the mother's body and like to look at his own hands. Babies are very sensitive to colors. They have a preference for colors and like to see bright and vivid colors, especially red, and do not like to see dull colors. Their preferred colors are red, yellow, green, orange, blue, etc., so we often use red toys to attract children for this reason. When lying on your back, your eyes will track the person who is moving. Walk around in front of your baby often to attract his attention and observe whether his eyes follow you.

【5-6 months】

The more often they blink, the more they can see objects in front of them, and they can pick them up and play with them in front of their eyes. Hang a rattle next to the cradle or crib, and when your child accidentally touches the rattle, observe whether the sound draws your baby's attention to an object somewhere. When a child sits up to play, he can manipulate objects with his hands under the control of his eyes. He will stare at what he has picked up, and his hands and eyes begin to coordinate. Show the toy in front of the baby and move it slowly up, down, left and right to observe whether the baby can consciously and actively follow it. When the baby is over 6 months old, the eyes can follow moving objects up and down and turn 90 degrees. At this time, the child's vision can reach 0.1, and he can see objects at a longer distance, such as pedestrians and vehicles on the street.

【7-8 months】

Able to distinguish the distance and space of objects; like to look for toys that suddenly disappear; play "hide and seek" with the baby, and observe the baby's excitement level and whether the reaction is timely.

【9-10 months】

The line of sight can move up, down, left and right with moving objects, can follow falling objects, look for dropped toys, and can distinguish the size, shape and speed of movement of objects. Can see small objects and can begin to distinguish simple geometric shapes and observe different shapes of objects. The sense of visual depth begins to appear, which is actually a kind of stereoscopic perception.

【11-12 months】

The line of sight can move up, down, left and right with moving objects, and can follow falling objects; the visual acuity can reach 0.2 at the age of 1.
