Summary/Abstract: Disorders of the organ of sight lead to disturbances in perception and perceptions. The author of this article discusses types and sources of these disorders, illustrating them with examples of paintings by respected artists who suffered from eye diseases at different times in their lives. The conclusions that can be drawn from the reception of these examples can be surprising, among others: the characteristic features of the painter’s workshop do not result from his “whim”, but from a dysfunction of the organ of sight.
