Question
At one month old, how far has a newborn’s vision developed? Are there any special considerations for the vision of premature babies?
Answer
A one-month-old baby has basic vision, but their range of sight is still quite limited, roughly only as far as an adult’s hand span. The vision development of premature babies may vary, but they typically begin to see objects around them within about a month. However, if parents have any concerns about their child’s vision, it is recommended to take the baby for a professional check-up early on and follow the doctor’s advice and treatment plan. Regular eye exams are particularly important for premature babies to ensure normal vision development.
