Most of them rely on the fact that our eyes can’t see that much at once and constantly move a little bit to look around an image. Certain patterns and colours near eachother can fool our eyes so that when we aren’t looking directly at it they look differet. So the whole thing moves as your eyes move a little bit to see the rest of the pattern.
I have a squint (my eyes are lined up quite parallel) and although I wear glasses, I still don’t use both eyes at the same time as muh as people with 20:20 vision. This means that I just can’t see some optical illusions, although the motion ones usually affect me.
