Vision is the last sense to develop. In utero, eyelids remain closed until about the 26th week in order for the retinas to fully develop. Around week 26, the eyes open and even begin to blink! At birth, a baby's vision is perfectly focused from 8 to 12 inches.

Vision objectives are included for the first time in Healthy People 2010, the nation's health agenda that identifies opportunities to improve the health of all Americans. "It's a real milestone," said Rosemary Janiszewski, Director of the National Eye Health Education Program. "This addition to Healthy People will finally put vision on the public health agenda." Most states and many localities use the Healthy People framework to guide local health policies and programs.
