Fentesi

Fentesi is a term that refers to a specific type of visual distortion or illusion, often experienced as a brief, involuntary movement or shift in perception. It is not a recognized medical condition in itself but rather a descriptive term for a subjective experience. Individuals who report fentesi might describe seeing objects or their surroundings flicker, jump, or momentarily appear to move when they are actually still. This can occur in various contexts, sometimes related to visual fatigue, eye strain, or even as a transient phenomenon during periods of intense focus or stress.

The sensation of fentesi is typically short-lived and does not usually cause significant distress or impairment. It is important to distinguish this subjective experience from more persistent or debilitating visual disturbances that might indicate an underlying medical issue. While the exact neurological mechanisms behind fentesi are not extensively studied, it is thought to involve temporary misinterpretations or processing glitches within the visual system. In most cases, fentesi resolves on its own without intervention. If such experiences become frequent, prolonged, or are accompanied by other concerning symptoms, consulting a healthcare professional is recommended to rule out any potential underlying causes.
