YOGYAKARTA - When the baby starts to see clearly is a question that new parents often ask. Since birth, the baby's vision develops gradually, from just recognizing the light until finally being able to see the face of the parents.

Understanding the process of developing baby vision is very important so that parents can provide the right stimulation. By knowing the normal signs, you can be calmer and support the growth and development of your little one.

Reporting from the Kids Health page, at the age of one month the baby can only focus on the close shape, while the far object looks vague because they are still close.

But with age, the baby's vision will improve. At the end of the age of 3 months, babies can already follow moving objects, are interested in patterns and shapes, and recognize familiar faces even from a distance.

The face of a human being, especially the face of a parent or himself, is the most attractive thing for a baby at the age of 3 months. As an experiment, you can put a safe mirror near a baby bed so that he can see himself.

In addition, baby color vision is also growing. Toys or wall decorations with bright colors will help train color distinguishability. On the other hand, soft pastel colors tend to be less attractive for babies, so it is better to consider choosing toys and books.

This ability does not exist since birth, but begins to form around the age of 5 months when the two eyes can work together to create a three-dimensional view.

Although the vision of the baby's color is not as sharp as an adult, generally at the age of 5 months they already have the ability to see color well. Then around the age of 8 months, most babies began to crawl.

When entering creeping activity, it's safe, your baby has entered an important phase to train eye, hands, feet, and body coordination. Baby that walks faster without crawling sometimes doesn't develop eye cooperation skills as good as a baby that is longer creeping.

Cases of eye problems and vision in babies are actually rare. Please note, most babies are born with healthy eyes and can develop their visual abilities normally.

However, there is still the possibility of problems to watch out for. For this reason, parents should pay attention to the following signs:
