During the first year of the child, the vision gradually developed. The baby's vision develops and helps her understand the world around her. With his help, he will learn to sit, get up, crawl, and walk.
SENSE OF SIGHT OF THE NEWBORN
The newborn sees the world rather vaguely. It reacts very well to light, it turns towards its source, but it can also happen that it blinks at a suddenly strong light. The baby reacts to shapes and movements, but her eyes are still wandering and she cannot focus on a certain shape. Until the age of one month, the baby can focus only on shapes and faces that are between 20 and 30 centimeters away from her face. Then he can recognize the mother holding him in her arms and that calms him down.
WHAT DOES A MONTH OLD BABY SEE?
The baby still can't see far, but he can see you quite clearly when you are close to her. Lie on the bed next to the baby or hold her in your arms so that he looks at you and calm down and give him time to study you. You can also tell her something, grimace, and focus on eye contact. At this age, the baby slowly learns to have a focus on which to look. You can start placing a toy in front of her and moving objects in front of her face. The baby will slowly begin to follow the object with his eyes. The baby can now see the colors but still does not distinguish similar ones. It reacts best to black and white contrasts.
WHAT DOES A TWO MONTH OLD BABY SEE?
The vision slowly becomes sharper, and the baby begins to distinguish between color shades. Now is the ideal time to show off pastel colors, but with a complicated shape and design.
WHAT DOES A FOUR MONTH OLD BABY SEE?
The baby now begins to see things that are further away from her. Besides, she coordinates her movements better, so she can catch toys and look at them. Now she will start grabbing your hair, necklace, and toys that are at her fingertips.
WHAT DOES A FIVE MONTH OLD BABY SEE?
A five-month-old baby enjoys examining objects. Now she notices smaller objects, and she also remembers the toys she likes. At this time you can start playing blindfold. Cover your face with a diaper, then show up or use it to hide your baby’s favorite teddy bear. This game will be very entertaining for the baby. The baby can now imitate your facial expressions. Try sticking out your tongue and it will copy you.
WHAT DOES A EIGHT MONTH OLD BABY SEE?
The baby sees much more, almost like an adult, and sees at a greater distance. He still sees things that are close, much clearer, than those far away, but he can recognize people and objects in the room.
WHAT DOES A NINE YEAR OLD BABY SEE?
Baby's eyes now have a color similar to the one they will have left when they grow up. The shades will change in the coming months. Now he gets the sharpness of the image and can see tiny crumbs. You can start playing the game of recognizing objects in the room by pointing your finger at them.
WHAT DOES A ONE YEAR OLD BABY SEE?
The baby now knows the exact difference between what is near and far. She can recognize people approaching and her vision is very close to the same as the vision of an adult who does not wear prescription glasses.
POTENTIAL HEALTH PROBLEMS
It is important to recognize in time if there is a vision problem. Some problems are best remedied at the outset. If anything seems strange to you or you have any doubts, feel free to ask a pediatrician or pediatric ophthalmologist. It is normal for babies to occasionally "run" around.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO TELL YOUR OPHTHALMOLOGIST:
Is there anyone in the family who has a vision problem?
Does a baby's eye or both eyes ever "run away"?
Does the baby keep an eye on the things that are moving?
Does the baby water his eyes and what does he react to?
PREMATURE BABIES AND BABIES BORN WITH LOW BIRTH WEIGHT
Premature babies and low birth weight babies are more likely to have vision problems, so it is important to check them regularly. This is because the baby has not spent enough time in the stomach to develop enough blood vessels to supply the eyes with oxygen and nutrients. This is called retinopathy and is treated without problems if detected in time.
