Optical Illusions and Visual Phenomena

What is an optical illusion?
An optical illusion is a photo or a picture of something that tricks your vision when it is just an image. When you are viewing an illusion, Your eye sees something while your other gets fooled.


Stare Carefully at the 4 dots in the middle of this image for 20 seconds or so. The longer the better. Then close your eyes and face a bright direction. Another option is to stare at the sky or a white sheet such as the bright computer screen. It may take a while. Everyones eyes are different.
Here is another optical illusion. How many horses can you count in this image?
