Diffraction can be described as a visual effect where as a result of pupil dilation, some light sources which hit the lens of the eye will appear spread into a larger range of the spectrum rather than a consolidated wavelength. This results in the experience of rainbows and spectrums of color embedded across the brighter parts of one's visual field and can be a common experience during day to day life for some people.

Diffraction is is most commonly induced under the influence of mild dosages of psychedelic compounds, such as LSD, 2C-B, psilocin, and mescaline.
