There are many different kinds of optical illusion, and the mechanisms behind them are different from each other. Most are reasonably well understood, some are still in question. See links for ideas.

Here is a personal speculation: Those things around us that we can see clearly, with little or no ambiguity, are probably those things that were important to our survival during our evolution.
