Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Newborns only have clear vision at a range of about 8 to 12 inches, called the "primary focal distance." They are not farsighted or seeing objects farther away in more detail than closer objects. Their visual perception is not yet fully developed and does not approximate that of adults. While they are sensitive to certain colors, they do not see them more vividly than adults.
