- I ran across a case report of someone who after some LSD use
- reported that she was persistently disturbed by the transparent
- noses on either side of the binocular visual field. This sort of
- thing, like noticing floaters, appears to take place at a high
- level, after visual processing has been done. "Post-hallucinogen
- visual disorder" seems a misnomer; "Post-hallucinogen worrying"
- seems more accurate. I don't mean to unduly belittle this problem,
- but it doesn't sound as if it's the "visual disorder" that "experts"
- describe it as.
