No, vision does not curve in the same way as light. The curvature of the Earth affects the path of light due to the bending of light rays in the presence of a gravitational field. This effect is known as gravitational lensing. However, when we perceive objects through our vision, our eyes and brain interpret the light that enters our eyes as straight lines.

While light may follow a curved path due to the Earth's curvature, our visual perception compensates for this curvature, and we perceive objects as if they were on a straight line. Our brains have evolved to interpret the light rays from different objects and construct a coherent visual perception of our surroundings. So, from a subjective perspective, we don't experience the curvature of vision as we do for the path of light.
