In comparison to the embryo, the fetus has more recognizable external features and a more complete set of developing organs.
There is no sharp limit of development, age, or weight at which a fetus automatically becomes viable. [21] According to data from 2003 to 2005, survival rates are 20–35% for babies born at 23 weeks of gestation (5 + 3 ⁄ 4 months); 50–70% at 24–25 weeks (6 – 6 + 1 ⁄ 4 months); and >90% at 26–27 weeks (6 + 1 ⁄ 2 – 6 + 3 ⁄ 4 ...

Their retinal images are also smaller compared to adults due to shorter distances from the retina to the cornea of the infants' eye. [1] A newborn's pupil grows from approximately 2.2 mm to an adult length of 3.3 mm. [2] Visual acuity, the sharpness of the eye to fine detail, is a major component of a human's visual system.
