'''Visual acuity suppression''' ~~can be described~~ as the ~~experience~~ of ~~one's sense~~ of vision becoming partially to completely blurred and indistinct. Depending on its intensity, this can often result in a ~~loss of the~~ ability to function and perform basic tasks which necessitate the use of sight.

Visual acuity suppression is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[double vision]] and [[pattern recognition suppression]].
