” Discover the incredible stages of your baby’s sight “
The first year of a baby is quite a journey of discovery. From high-contrast fascination to full-color exploration.
Visual Journey
Rods and Cones
In the eyes, there are two main types of tiny light sensors: rods and cones. Rods help us see things in the dark, like shapes and movement, while cones are all about colors and details when it’s bright. Together, they work as a team to help us see everything, from motion and contrast to colors and tiny details. At birth however, the rods and cones are not yet fully developed.
By exposing baby’s to contrasting patterns, the neural connections in the visual part of the brain begin to form and strengthen. The repeated exposure to these bold patterns encourages neurons to connect, helping to build connections between their eyes and brains. This helps the baby’s brain adapt and develop the ability to process more complex visual information.
From monochroom to full color
In this incredible transformation, take a moment to appreciate your baby’s visual development. It’s a journey from high-contrast fascination to full-color exploration.
Baby’s visual development unfolds in several stages. Throughout these phases, the brain plays a vital role in helping babies make sense of what they perceive from visual stimuli. These crucial early months can be supported with the right tools, and high-contrast images play a fundamental role in nurturing your baby’s visual acuity.
