What do you see when you see the lines above? 

On the first image the line at the bottom looks longer than the line on the top. The opposite happens with the second diagram. You can even measure them and will see that they are exactly the same ..... but you still think they are different lengths. 

Even if you have problematic eyesight and wear glasses or contact lenses, you will still have the same problem. This is because illusions don't happen in our eyes, they happen in our brains.
