An optical illusion is nothing more than a trick of the eye.
This one however takes their use one step forward and plays with your mind as well. If you’ve never taken any drugs in your lifetime (Good for you!) or been pumped full of morphine at the hospital, you wouldn’t really know what to think of it.
Other than what we see on tv, we don’t really have much to go on, as to what the experience is actually like.

This video however claims to help sate those questions.

Not everyone however was convinced.
"At first just one dot, then it seemed to split into two and they drifted apart, one left, then one right. Made the room a bit fuzzy for about 30 second afterwards. Not exactly lsd level, but still fun."
