Dysmorphopsia, in a broad sense, is a condition in which a person is unable to correctly perceive objects. It is a visual distortion, used to denote a variant of metamorphopsia in which lines appear wavy.[1] These illusions may be restricted to certain visuals areas, or may affect the entire visual field.[2]
It has been associated with meningioma tumors[3] and bilateral lateral occipital corital damage, e.g. after carbon monoxide poisoning or drug abuse.[4]
Etymology
The term dysmorphopsia comes from the Greek words dus (bad), morphè (form) and opsis (seeing).[1]
