This web page will take you to different sites to help you to learn about three different types of optical illusions. Here we go!

It's really easy to fool the eye.  Sometimes the message that your eye sends to your brain will be perceived, or seen, incorrectly.  These incorrect messages are commonly called Optical Illusions.  There are several types of optical illusions. We will learn about them now.

• AMBIGUOUS ILLUSIONS.  Sometimes we look at a picture and see one thing, but when we look again, the same picture appears to be doing something else!  This type of illusion is called an Ambiguous Illusion.

• DISTORTION ILLUSIONS.  Another type of optical illusion is called a Distortion.  A distortion causes a familiar object to bend or change shape before our eyes!  See if you can find the tricks.

• IMPOSSIBLE OBJECTS.  Sometimes your brain wants to see something that JUST DOES NOT EXIST!  This type of illusion is called an Impossible Object.
