Reversal of Vision Metamorphopsia: This condition causes everything you see to be flipped upside down. It is also known as "upside down vision" or the "room tilt illusion," resulting from a rare visual disturbance.
If vision is working correctly all the different parts of the eye work together to help you see.
1. The cornea is the entry point for the light, this is the clear front layer of the eye. The light is bent by the cornea to help the eye focus.
2. A part of this light that passes through an opening called the pupil. The pupil is the opening in the iris, the colored part of the eye that controls the amount light is let in.
3. Light enters the eye and hits the lens, which is the transparent part responsible for focusing the light rays onto the retina. The lens adapts to ensure that objects at different distances are focused properly. This adjustment process is known as accommodation. The light passes through the vitreous humor, a gel-like substance that helps to maintain the shape of the eye.
4. Finally, light reaches the retina, the light-sensitive nerve layer at the back of the eye, where the image is inverted. Finally, light reaches the retina, the light-sensitive nerve layer at the back of the eye, where the image is inverted.
5. The images are transmitted through the optic nerve, which carries signals to the brain's visual cortex. The visual cortex processes these signals to create vision.
It is the brain's responsibility to invert images by 180° through the firing of various neurons. This firing pattern encodes information about the object of focus.
RVM, or recurrent visual motion, is typically a temporary visual illusion that resolves on its own without causing long-term vision impairment. However, it is essential to seek medical attention to rule out other potential causes, such as:
- Stroke
- Dysfunction of the vestibular system
- Tumors
- Trauma to the spinal cord or brain
- Multiple sclerosis
Treatment depends on the underlying causes of your condition. Your eye care specialist, neurologist, and other providers can collaborate to determine the best course of action.
