Until then, the eyes are not focused and it has nothing to do with an undeveloped ciliary muscle. If this isn't enough of an explanation, I'm sorry. I cannot give you more. Does this mean you don't want to move on?
Lessans was wrong. Vision does not depend on any other sensory input to function, seeing happens independently of the other senses, but that is not to say that a person will look to see the source of one of the other inputs.
NO, he said that stimuli from the senses starts the process which allows one to see what exists, not the source of the input.
