Opticus Penetra


From Rebirpedia, the Pokémon Rebirth encyclopaedia.

 

Opticus Penetra is the name of a rare sight condition that enables the sufferer to view things beyond the sight range of others. These things include ghost type Pokémon, life forms concealed using invisibility or illusionary techniques and Variable anomalies.

 

Sufferers of Opticus Penetra tend to be naturally anxious, but left untreated, their condition can cause further, more dangerous side effects such as dementia or psychosis. This likely happens from prolonged exposure to often-frightening visions that no one else can see.

 

 

Function


 

The muscles within the irises of people with Opticus Penetra are arranged in such a way, that it appears as a swirl-like pattern from a short distance. When these muscles work to expand and contract the pupils, it warps the vision of the sufferer.

 

Treatments


 

Glasses with specially-designed lenses have been created to help counteract the effects of Opticus Penetra. The surface of the lenses is carved with a swirl pattern that runs the opposite way to the muscle pattern on the eyes of the sufferer, thus countering the visual disturbances.

 

Research


 

While most people only think of Opticus Penetra as detrimental, the condition has also helped scientists to better understand the workings of Ultraspace and different types of concealment shields.
