In this article. Babies are born with a full visual capacity to see objects and colors. However, newborns are extremely nearsighted (far away objects are blurry): 1  Newborns can see objects about 8-15 inches away quite sharply. 2  Newborns prefer to look at faces over other shapes and objects and at round shapes with light and dark borders (such as your adoring eyes).
At first when babies are born, they don't open their eyes because they are still developing a little bit. So they are blind until a week or two after the baby is born. Then they see in full color, but it is like a confusing swirl of light and color because they have been in black since the beginning, and it is all new to them.
