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).
How It Develops: 1  Newborns generally see things in black and white and only see things clearly around 8-12 inches away. 2  At 6 weeks your childâs vision improves so he can see things 15-20 feet away.  As the muscles in the eyes develop your baby will be able to track movement in front of his face more easily.
