      What effect is that, if you know?

      I wonder what causes this. Looks like more “vivid” picture (dk how else to express) of the two is left in one frame and right in the other and then left again etc.

      Can it then be combined with peripheral vision to create those?

    I don’t know if I have the mental stability and coping skills to survive with that condition. I would be so scared, lonely, and depressed.

      Is it just on all the time, or does it come and go?

    This is the face I make when I pass a coworker in the hallway.

    That’s both terrifying and fascinating.

    I wonder what would happen if this individual went up to the people and touched the part of their faces that are misrepresented in his vision.
