Eyesight is not always possible when your eyes are open. Ignoring defects such as blindness, there has to be sufficient light for images to be seen. In a pitch black room with no light source it does not matter how good a mere mortal's eyes are. Jul 19 03, 7:05 AM

What can babies see? Young infants cannot focus on objects very well. Research shows that they focus better on things that are close to them (about 8-12 inches), and they tend to be attracted to borders of things, like the hairline or lips of the face. When babies look at objects with thick lines and interesting patterns, their eye muscles begin to develop, leading to clearer more detailed vision. By two to six weeks, infants can begin to distinguish between high contrast colors. But a young baby's color vision isn't as sensitive or rich as an adult's color vision because the neurons in the eye aren't yet mature. Practice with high contrast colors helps to fine tune these neurons making the world a more colorful place for babies. Infants are not born with depth perception. Combining the images received from both eyes along with the development of the brain neurons leads to depth perception between 3 and 5 months. Babies at this stage begin using their visual skills to coordinate hand and finger movements.http://www.babysee-shirts.com/research.htm Jul 20 03, 1:54 PM
