They say that newborn babies can only see up to about 8 to 10 inches, and everything beyond that is a blur. That sounds about right. When I’m held I often stare into the eyes of the person holding me. But beyond that I can’t really make things out. I can turn my head to certain sounds and sort of look in that direction, but I’m just locking on to sound.
However, recently, I’ve been able to see things at a distance a little more clearly. I have started to track movement with my eyes. What I see is still blurry, but I can see shapes and movement, especially when things are backlit. Little by little I’m becoming more aware of my surroundings.
