Imagine a person\u2019s face. Now imagine that whenever you looked at that face, there was a chance it would appear distorted. That\u2019s what life is like for a person with prosopometamorphopsia, or PMO. Now, thanks to a new study, you can see through the eyes of someone with this rare condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is believed to be the first time that images have been created<\/a> to so closely replicate what a patient with the condition is seeing, psychologist Ant\u00f4nio Mello and colleagues report in the March 23 Lancet<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n
