Visual Fixation Age Milestone
Visual fixation is the ability for the eyes to maintain a steady gaze on a visual target. Visual following involves tracking a moving object with the eyes.
These are important developmental milestones for infants.
- Initial visual attention can be observed very early in infancy.
- However, the consistent ability to hold fixation and smoothly follow objects or faces develops progressively.
- The upper limit of age by which most infants reliably attain the ability to perform visual fixation and following is considered to be around 2 months.
Prior to this age, these visual skills are typically still maturing.
