Vision thresholds are detectable even in infants. Because the Burbank Noon Lions wish to insure that each child can meet their full potential….we suggest that parents/family members observe children from birth through their first year for signs of normal visual behavior.

Guidelines:

Months	Behavior
0 - 1	turns eyes and head to look at light sources horizontal tracking eye contact at 6 – 8 weeks
2 - 3	intense eye contact vertical and circular tracking interested in mobiles interested in lip-reading
3 - 6	watches own hands reaches toward, later grasps hanging objects observes toys falling or rolling visual sphere of attention widens
7 - 10	notices small bread crumbs first touches them, then develops pincer grasp interested in pictures recognizes partially hidden objects
10 - 12	visual orientation at home looks through windows/recognizes people recognizes pictures, plays hide-and-seek
