Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Visual acuity reaches adult levels in a child at approximately 1 year. During this time, the eyes have developed enough to see with similar clarity and acuity as adults. Before 1 year, infants' eyes are still developing, and their acuity is not as sharp. By the first grade, children's visual systems have fully matured, but visual acuity reached adult levels much earlier.
