Focusing is when special muscles change the shape of the lens of the eye to form a clear image of the world on the back of the eye (the retina) Before 2 months of age, infants' eyes have the capability to focus distant objects as well as close objects; but they do not focus very accurately. Sometimes they will focus too close (in front of the object) sometimes too far (behind the object) Although newborns eyes are capable of focusing things at the horizon, as well as things quite close to their face, many baby books still incorrectly say that infants can only focus 7 to 10 inches in front of their face.
