Visual development milestones

Visual development milestones are key points indicating how a child's eyesight and visual skills progress over time. Newborns can see only blurry images and prefer high-contrast shapes. By about 3 months, they begin to focus more clearly, track moving objects, and recognize familiar faces. Around 6 months, depth perception improves, allowing better judgment of distances. By 1 year, their vision closely resembles adult sight, with good color perception and detailed vision. These milestones reflect the development of eye muscles, brain processing, and visual coordination, forming the foundation for skills like reading, writing, and physical coordination later in life.
