(A) Demonstration of the venetian blind effect. When viewed with a neutral density filter (or polarized sunglasses) covering one eye, the white bars appear to slant in the direction toward the covered eye. (B) The deviation between the horopter (red lines) tangent to the Vieth-Müller circle, and the normal (blue lines) which is at right angles to the line of sight, increases with increasing visual field eccentricity. In central vision the tangent and the normal coincide.
