Macropsia

Macropsia is a condition in which surrounding objects appear larger to a person than they actually are.

Typically, macropsia develops as a result of some kind of retinal disease that affects the central fovea (macula) of the retina. Also, the cause of macropsia may be a spasm of accommodation - an involuntary contraction of the ciliary muscle of the eye, which leads to impaired vision clarity at close distances.

Due to damage to the visual analyzer, a person perceives objects as enlarged compared to their actual size. This distortion of the perception of surrounding reality can be accompanied by dizziness and disorientation in space.

Macropsia is usually a temporary condition. When the cause of this visual disorder is eliminated, the symptoms of macropsia usually go away. In some cases, treatment of the underlying disease or surgery is required to restore normal vision.

Macropsia is an unusual optical distortion in which objects around you appear enlarged in size. When a person is faced with the problem of macropsis illusion, everything around him seems to become huge. This deviation occurs when the lens of the eye strains too hard to see small objects, such as bugs.
