Cover the line with your finger —
both boxes are actually the SAME colour.
They look different because we don’t just see with our eyes…
we see with our brains 🧠
Your brain adapts to blur.
It compensates for strain.
It convinces you everything is fine.
That’s why many patients say:
“I didn’t realise my vision had changed.”
“I’ve never noticed a problem.”
Many eye conditions — including early Glaucoma and Macular Degeneration — can progress slowly and without pain.
If one eye begins to deteriorate, the other eye — and your brain — can quietly compensate.
You may feel like your vision is perfectly normal…
while changes are happening in the background.
Children especially don’t know what clear vision should look like — they simply adapt.
That’s why regular eye examinations matter.
Don’t rely on perception alone.
Make sure your family’s eyes are truly healthy.
