Do you have astigmatism or something? (Very common -- 1 in 3 people -- eye condition that can make things look a bit weird, especially with having to look at things for a long time.)

Is this an hallucination? Or just a peculiar optical effect?

If it's the latter, you may want to have your eyes checked by an optician or ophthalmologist.

You would actually go to an eye doctor for astigmatism, as it has to do with the shape of your eyeball, like being far-sighted or near-sighted. Has your vision ever been checked?

If you're in the US, your vision was probably screened regularly as a kid, but if you're much out of school, you may want to be screened again. Also, I don't know if they can detect mild astigmatism with those charts they use in school

My mom has astigmatism, but she is also near-sighted, so her glasses correct for astigmatism as well as near-sightedness.

i think it has something to do with my brains because it only happens when im consentrating on the pc with something maybe its because of the light that makes my brain gets confused while i try to learn something or reading something or maybe my consentration part just isnt that good altough i have been having trouble with very sensitive eyes :(

Does your screen have a simple repeating pattern on it like tiles or something?
If so then your eyes get tired and go out of focus and a 3-D effect happens. (To me too!)

If not you might have a detached retina or something else serious, go see an opthamologist.

If you hadn't said something like the screen pops out at you when it shrinks
then it could have been a monitor problem.

It's an eye doctor you'd need to see, it's a physical difference in the eyeballs.

Many eye problems create difficulties if you have to use your eyes too long, which would not be there in someone without the eye problems, so that's what you'd want to check first.
