Acuity suppression is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[double vision]]<ref>Smith, J. L., & Buncic, J. R. (1999). Drugs which can affect near vision: a useful list. American Orthoptic Journal, 49, 180-190. https://uwpress.wisc.edu/journals/pdfs/AOJ_49_178.pdf</ref> 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]].
