Spot the second man.

An optical illusion is caused by the visual system going haywire. When you set your eyes on something, your brain receives visual cues so it can form a perception of what you are looking at. Your eyes assess the light, colour, and patterns to create a three-dimensional view of the world. 

However, when the visual information received by your brain is incomplete or ambiguous, then your brain is forced to fill in gaps or use past experiences, which results in a perception or visual image that is different from what actually is there.

In simple words, optical illusions are visual images that trick your eyes and brain into perceiving reality differently from what it is. These illusion images can reveal how sharp your brain is.
