Optical illusions are produced by the refraction (bending) of light. The change in direction of light as it passes from one medium to another can cause objects to appear distorted or misplaced, leading to visual illusions. This bending of light can create visual effects that trick our eyes and brains. Optical illusions can be broadly categorised into three different types, as per British psychologist Richard Gregory. These are physical, physiological, and cognitive illusions.

Physical optical illusions occur due to the way light interacts with objects and the eye, creating distortions in perceptions. Physiological optical illusions occur from overstimulation of the eyes or visual pathways, leading to afterimages or seeing moving images. Cognitive optical illusions are the most complex type and occur when the brain interprets visual information based on prior knowledge and assumptions. Overall, optical illusions can trick your brain and eyes into seeing something that may not be real.
