"Seeing is beleiving..."
"The camera never lies..."
"What you see is what you get..."

These are familiar phrases to most of us, but how true are they?

The reality is that our eyes are easily deceived. We often see what we "expect" to see, based on previous experience or logic. Our perception is affected by relationships to other objects, movement and contrast. We 'see' things that aren't even there if their shape and form is implied by adjacent items.

These optical illusion pages explore the phenomonem of illusion and how our eyes interpret what we see.
