I've been wearing some glasses today as a temporary measure until my prescription glasses are ready and tonight when I was cooking pork steaks in a frying pan earlier, for some reason the pan appeared as if it was on an incline. I know it wasn't but yet my eyes saw the pan as it was sloping down, it was really odd and I told my husband what was happening and he said it sounds like an optical illusion. I didn't like it, I kept wanting to put the pan flat on the stove, yet it was lol.
I'm not sure I've worded this right for you to understand but I hope I have.
I understand perfectly.
I've been short-sighted since childhood, and every time I had an eye test, until recent years, I've needed slightly stronger lenses.
Whenever I put on the new glasses for the first time, things would appear to be sloping... especially the floor.
Once my eyes adjusted to the new lenses, possibly after a day, or day and a half, everything righted itself.
