Ask a Scientist: What is an Optical Illusion?

This video features Dr. Matt McMahon discussing optical illusions and how they play tricks on our eyes. In the National Eye Institute Ask a Scientist video series, NEI scientists answer questions from kids about vision, optical illusions, science careers, and more.
