'''Acuity enhancement''' can be described as an enhancement of the clearness of vision. This results in the visual details of 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).

'''Acuity enhancement''' can be described as an enhancement of the clearness and clarity of vision. This results in the visual details of the external environment becoming sharpened to the point where the edges of objects become perceived as extremely focused, clear and defined. The experience of acuity enhancement can be likened to bringing a camera or projector lens that was slightly blurry into focus. At its highest level, one may experience the perception that they can now observe and comprehend their entire visual field simultaneously, including their peripheral vision. In comparison, while sober one is typically only able to perceive the small area of central vision that their eye is currently focused on in detail.<ref> Sardegna, Jill; Shelly, Susan; Rutzen, Allan Richard; Scott M Steidl (2002).

While under the influence of this component, it is very common for people to suddenly notice patterns and details ~~that~~ they may have never previously noticed or appreciated. For example, when looking at sceneries, nature, and everyday textures the complexity and perceived beauty of the visual input often becomes suddenly obvious.

While under the influence of this component, it is very common for people to suddenly notice patterns and details in the environment they may have never previously noticed or appreciated. For example, when looking at sceneries, nature, and everyday textures the complexity and perceived beauty of the visual input often becomes suddenly obvious.

Acuity enhancement is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[color enhancement]] and [[pattern recognition enhancement]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#mild|mild]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[psychedelic]] compounds, such as [[LSD]], [[2C-B]], [[psilocin]], and [[mescaline]]. However, it can also occur less commonly under the influence of certain [[stimulants]] and [[dissociatives]] such as [[MDMA]] or [[3-MeO-PCP]].
