Ask the Experts: Baby eyesight development

In “Ask the Experts,” MEDNAX-affiliated pediatric ophthalmologist, Dr. Joel Leffler, talks about the signs and symptoms for proper infant eyesight development. At 1-month-old, the visual system is relatively immature and still very much in development, so parents needn’t be concerned. But if visual interest isn’t maintained by 3 to 4 months of age, further examination may be warranted. He also covers other eye conditions parents should be on the lookout for.
