When Do Kittens Start To See?

Kittens (and Puppies) can see light and dark and general shapes as soon as their eyes open which is usually at around ten days old.  Their sight gets better as their brains develop and they become more mobile over the next few weeks.

Kittens open their eye at 10-14 days.  This reveal a cloudy cornea (outer surface of the eye) that lasts about 24 hours then clears.  Vision is poor until 3 weeks of age.  The corneal reflex is present once they open their eyes--pulling back when objects approach or touch the cornea.  For 3 weeks that kitten may not blink when objects approach the eye.  This menace reflex will develop after this.  Iris color can change until 8 weeks when it is most often permanent.

About 3 weeks they start seeing but their vision isn't clear for about 4-5 weeks.
