Simplest distortion is blur, after that comes changes in color vision, or variances in vision as if looking through a glass with bumpy surface, afterimages, and so forth. Technically simplest method is adding a transparent colored overlay or rendering only one color channel.

Note that this is NOT for swaying, shaking, or such.
