I already see in slightly two different colors in each eye. One is more of a blueish hue, the other more ruddy. I'm an artist and in color tests, I get the best marks. My friend who's a photographer also has the same condition and excellent color acuity. Anyone else experience this?
- hrnnnnnn 9y agoI often notice this effect when lying in bed with one eye open, and the other closed on the pillow. The closed eye will be bluer, the open redder. My own theory (backed up by nothing but a hunch) is that the closed eye adjusts its white-balance to compensate for the red light coming through the eyelid by becoming bluer.
- andai 9y agoMan.. now I'm not sure if you're right or if we're all mutants. I always forget which eye is which color. I should write it down.
- SomeHacker44 9y agoThis. You can try it on a bright day easily by alternating your open eye, and closing both with hands over them for a while to reset the phenomena. I discovered it decades ago on an extremely bright day where I couldn't keep both eyes open without discomfort.
- bitexploder 9y agoI see more red and more blue in one eye as well. You are not alone. I have asked my optometrists about this over the years and they just shrug, like "that is amusing".
- dec0dedab0de 9y agowhen I was a kid we had one of those big VHS camcorders with a black and white single eye veiew finder. It looked blue through one eye, and grey through the other. I never noticed it anywhere else.
- woliveirajr 9y agoOne eye sees more red, the other gives a blue tone to everything. But very slightly, easier to notice when comparing what I see when using one eye at a time for some reddish thing (furniture, mainly). And seems that astigmatism and a toxoplasmosis changed those levels (lessen the effect).
- baq 9y agoi thought this is common knowledge; there used to be red-blue 3d glasses that worked with specially prepared pictures and a bit of practice and the red-blue color scheme wasn't an accident.

- abecedarius 9y agoDo you know why you see things this way? That's interesting.
- koliber 9y agoI have noticed this effect as well. Always thought about it, but never did anything to find out more about it. It is noticeable when lying down and looking at a white ceiling and alternatively closing and opening each eye. I wondered if it is inherent to the eye, or the conditioning of the eyes at that moment in time. For example, will my right eye always see more bluish and the left eye more reddish? Or does this depend on the fact that I am laying down in my bedroom where the light enters from the window that is to the right of me, and desensitized one of my eyes to some wavelengths.
