pollute the mind ... (see below)
Since "poison" comes up in the first part of the sentence, I am proposing an alternative to the first two (excellent) suggestions:
(their eyes and heart poisoned by thousands of images which)
pollute the mind with an aesthetically alluring/captivating game that is as insidious as it is illusory
