Infants' visual development progresses in a predictable pattern. At 1 month, infants like Vinnie are mostly attracted to high-contrast patterns because their vision is still developing and they cannot see well at a distance. By 3 months, infants like Uri begin to focus more on faces as their vision improves and they start to recognize familiar people. By 9 months, infants like Tanisha have significantly improved visual acuity, nearing that of an adult, allowing them to see the world more clearly and in greater detail.
