We have compared the influence of visual blurring (either by use of plastic foils or by plus lenses) on detection of object-motion and self-motion, and on visual control of postural balance. Three experiments were performed--in all of which object-motion and self-motion detection latencies (response times) and postural sway (sway path) increased with increasing visual blurring. We conclude that visual blurring either by foils or by glasses affects object- and self-motion perception and postural sway in a similar way.
