This is a very cool optical effect

Whichever dot you focus on looks purple while the others look blue

As someone whose eyes have been "settling" from cataract surgery followed by a superficial keratectomy in one eye, and has noticed my vision changing daily at various focal points, this is fascinating

@kims I don't get this illusion at all! I thought it might be because I'm on PC and the image dimensions make me think it's meant to be shown on a phone screen, so I zoomed out. Still all looks purple. I can't make myself see any blue!

I read the paper but am not smart enough to understand why it would not work on certain people
