Welcome

Welcome to the world little Emma :)





A baby is born with the eye structures needed for vision, but must learn how to use them together to actually be able to "see." Although newborns can't see very well, they can see quite a bit. Newborns can differentiate between light and dark, but can't see all colors. They are also extremely nearsighted, meaning that far away objects are blurry. A newborn cannot adjust their focus the way an adult can. Their eye has a fixed focus which allows fairly clear vision at a distance of eight to twelve inches. They quickly learn to focus, or accommodate, so that by six weeks of age they can focus at a distance of one to two feet. By age four months they can see objects that are close or far almost as well as an adult can. By age six months they will see as clearly as they ever will.
