| Description |
Illusions about the spatial aspect of visual stimuli include three main categories: micropsia, the illusion that objects are smaller than in reality; macropsia, the illusion that objects are larger than in reality; and metamorphopsia, the illusion that objects are distorted. Of these, micropsia is probably the most common and has the largest variety of possible etiologies. |
