A newborn's eyes are highly immature. Their vision grows gradually over the years and more so in the first year. At first glance
it seems like babies are cross-eyed, but they simply do not have the right amount of coordination. Babies are born with the ability to focus only at close range—8 to 10 inches or the distance between a mother's face to the baby in her arms. They have a vision of 20/200 the first few weeks after birth. It then steadily grows towards 20/20 (normal adult vision) by the age of two to three. Newborn babies cannot see all colors, but they can tell the difference between light and dark. This is why toy retailers make bright colored mobiles, flashcards, rattles, and other toys. Choose the sentence that best summarizes the above passage. A. The distance between the mother and a baby in her arms is between eight to ten inches. This is one of the reasons why a baby is easily able to recognize its mother. B. Newborn babies can only see very large patterns. Toy makers today understand this and make bright colored mobiles, flashcards, rattles, and other toys that only have bright colors. C. Since a newborn's vision is not fully developed, he or she is unable to see many things. This is why babies appear cross-eyed. A baby develops a 20/20 vision only by three years of age. D. Newborn babies cannot see much in the first few weeks. They attain a 20/20 vision only by the age of three. Toy makers today understand this and cater to patterns that are discernable by babies.
