Why does a human baby's vision invert?

In summary, the human eye is much like the lens of a camera, telescope or microscope. An image, as it passes through the lens, is projected onto the retina upside down and backwards. The brain's job is to sort out and make sense of the image entering through the eye. There are special glasses inverting the vision, tests with adults show that the brain manages to flip it back after a few days of training. Take the glasses off and the brain again needs some time to adapt.

So true. And it's getting worse.
I'll try not to make any political statements. My message was (and still is) more important.
Please share it on social media so more than 1/2 million people get the message.
Thanks for your comments, Sophie
