Don't worry, your eyesight is fine. There is no need to run to your ophthalmologist to find out if there is something wrong with your eyes, you are simply the victim of what can be considered optical illusions, of the jokes our brain plays with our visual faculty so that they convince us that they have seen one thing rather than another. When this curious and often funny phenomenon happens, we can enjoy seeing things in a different way.

To make you realize how often optical illusions creep into our existence, here we have selected for you some of the strangest and most incredible photographs that will make you exclaim: "What have I just seen!". Trust us, this will be a unique optical challenge!
