Acuity suppression is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[double vision]] and [[pattern recognition suppression]]. This effect is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[depressant]] and [[dissociative]] compounds, such as [[alcohol]], [[quetiapine]], [[ketamine]], and [[DXM]]. | Acuity suppression is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[double vision]]<ref>Smith, J.
