When will a newborn be able to see clearly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At birth: They see clearly from the beginning, but only for a short distance. The vision improves gradually over time. Initially they see about 1 foot or less. Then by 6 months they can see at least 3-4 feet well. It continues to develop until they finally see 20/20 by about 9 years of age.
