There are many real life environments where you might see stroboscopic
effects without there being a flashing lamp. The optical 'opposite' like when you've seen wheels seem to move backwards is if your line of sight can be mechanically inturrupted somehow, or even systematiclly vibrated or jarred. Coming up on a truck, for example, if your view of the front wheel is influenced by the lug nuts on an aft wheel, can offer that impression. A badly out of balance wheel on your car, moving your head at the right frequency, can do the same thing. There are probably other circumstances as well, but I can't at the moment think of one where steady state viewing of a rotating wheel or the like without something like a pseudo shutter influencing your vision would cause it. So no, your vision is not defective. Or more correctly, it may be defective, but not because of what you've noted in your post! |
