Answer 1

The newborn's vision is estimated to be 20/200 on the Snellen eye examination chart. The Snellen eye examination chart is the chart everyone is examined on when they go to the eye doctor. This chart allows the doctor to accurately determine the vision the patient has by how clearly or not clearly they can read the chart. A newborns vision is skewed to 20/200 instead of the ideal 20/20 until their vision evens out over their lifetime.

Answer 2

Snellen chart is an eye chart that can be used to measure visual acuity by determining the level of visual detail that a person can discriminate. The newborn's vision is estimated to be 20/200 on the Snellen eye examination chart. This means the new born can see at 20 feet what a normal adult can see at 200 feet.
