Digital Visualization Breakthrough in Rare Face Distortion Condition

Researchers create the first digital representation of prosopometamorphopsia, offering new insights into the condition.

Victor Sharrah, diagnosed with prosopometamorphopsia (PMO), perceives human faces as distorted, a condition affecting fewer than 100 people globally.
Researchers created digital representations of Sharrah's perceptions, a breakthrough in understanding PMO.
PMO is often misdiagnosed as a psychiatric disorder, leading to incorrect treatments.
Symptoms of PMO vary widely among individuals, and the condition can last from days to years.
Sharrah's case has led to increased awareness and a potential diagnostic tool for PMO.
