Optical illusions are always fun to play with, but some can be particularly challenging on the old eyes and brain.

The coffer illusion was created by Stanford University psychologist Anthony Norcia and won Best Illusion of the Year in 2006 .

The image is made up of a pattern of black, white and gray lines of various shades that create the illusion of rectangles.

Once you see the circles, the image appears changed forever.
