My 10-week-old puppy has poor vision. Should I worry or see a vet?

My 10-week-old puppy seems to have poor vision. He doesn't seem to be able to follow moving objects very well, and appears to lose sight of me at a distance of 15' or more. Is this normal, or should we have his vision checked by a professional?

I recommend to have Chips examined by his veterinarian. Here is a article about normal development and eye sight: https://www.petcoach.co/article/sight-development-in-the-dog-puppy/ I hope this helps.
