This results in an image of the light being focused on the periphery of the retina. Light from this spot then casts shadows of the blood vessels (which lie on top of the retina) onto unadapted portions of the retina. Normally the image of the retinal blood vessels is invisible because of adaptation. Unless the light moves, the image disappears ...

An ASCII stereogram is an image that is formed using characters on a keyboard. Magic Eye is an autostereogram book series. Barberpole illusion
Impressions of several natural phenomena and the principles of some optical toys have been attributed to persistence of vision.

The horizontal bar appears to progress from light grey to dark grey, but is in fact just one color. Perceptual constancies are sources of illusions. Color constancy and brightness constancy are responsible for the fact that a familiar object will appear the same color regardless of the amount of light or color of light reflecting from it. An ...

[Click on image to enlarge] A similar 'sensory fading,' or filling-in, can be seen of a fixated stimulus when its retinal image is made stationary on the retina (a stabilized retinal image). Stabilization can be done in at least three ways. First, one can mount a tiny projector on a contact lens. The projector shines an image into the eye.
Despite the hype, a new study that suggests blue light-filtering glasses don't really do much of anything. Blue light glasses have 'virtually no effect' on eye strain caused by staring at a screen ...
Itchy eyes can be harmless and caused by allergies or eye strain, but they could also be the result of a viral infection. Experts explain how to get relief. Staring At A Screen All Day Might Be ...
