'''Visual acuity suppression''' ~~can be described~~ as the ~~experience~~ of ~~one's sense~~ of vision becoming partially to completely blurred and indistinct. This effect may affect the entirety of ~~one~~'s vision or specific sections of it. 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.
