'''Acuity enhancement''' ~~is defined~~ as an enhancement of the ~~acuteness or~~ clearness of vision. This results in the visual details ~~attributed to~~ the external environment becoming heightened to the point where the edges of objects become perceived as extremely focused, clear and defined. At its highest level, one may experience the perception that they can now comprehend their entire visual field at once (including the peripheral vision). In comparison, when one is sober they are typically only able to perceive in detail the small area of central vision that their eye is currently focused on.<ref> Sardegna, Jill; Shelly, Susan; Rutzen, Allan Richard; Scott M Steidl (2002).
