According to him, if someone sees a crooked road when it isn't, it could be due to metamorphopsia (a distorted vision). This condition can affect one or both eyes.
He says: "Metamorphopsia can be likened to a distorted mirror, where an object may appear smaller or larger than its actual size. The topography of objects, or roads in this case, may be wavy or curved. People often describe seeing things as hourglass-shaped, and so on."
According to him, if the problem is limited to one eye, a person might not notice anything abnormal until they close the healthy eye. However, abnormalities in one eye can sometimes significantly affect vision, even if the other eye is perfectly healthy. He notes that during his practice, he encountered a driver who suffered from distorted vision in both eyes, causing him to see a straight road as crooked.
He says: "This condition is most often observed in the elderly, but it can also occur in young people. It is important to understand that even with appropriate and timely treatment, the distortion of vision does not always disappear completely. Often, it is only possible to stop further deterioration and document the changes as they were at the start of treatment."
