Vision milestones

Keeping track of your child’s vision milestones may help you know whether your child is having vision problems. Just remember that some children may reach milestones at different ages.

• Infants’ eyes are often uncoordinated and may appear cross-eyed. By 3 months, however, a child begins to see an object as one image and is able to follow light, faces and objects.
• All children have poor eyesight at birth.
• If you suspect that your child isn’t seeing correctly or is having other problems with his or her vision, consult your child's physician.
