Ah... Thanks.

NIH should have a lot of papers on visual stuff,
  so I fed >pubmed visual latency< to Google
That got a bunch of hits.  Some are behind paywalls.

This looks like more than I wanted to know:

Event timing in human vision: Modulating factors and independent functions
  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32853238/

SOA is a magic TLA: Stimulus-onset asynchrony
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulus_onset_asynchrony

The ballpark from the graphs is 30-50ms depending on accuracy.

Along the way, I learned about Pulfrich
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulfrich_effect
The latency depends on brightness.  You get neat illusiions if you put a dark 
filter over one eye.
