Optical illusions work by exploiting the short cuts/filling in the blanks that our brain does. Parallel vertical lines(on a 2d screen)seem longer because our brain is used to things like that being on the ground going off into the distance. Some people's eyes seem to change color if they wear certain color shirts. Their eyes don't change, the brain of the person looking at them gets confused by the contrast and changes what we think their eyes look like.

Optical illusions are just a small example of how easily our perception can be manipulated.
