TIL I'm not the only person that sees slightly different hues with each eye (lemmy.world)

If I close one eye for a few minutes and then switch which eye is closed I see a very (very) subtle difference in hue.

Left eye sees a green tint; right eye sees a pink tint. It's more obvious when I'm looking at a white wall on a bright day.

I don't get this effect if I don't let one of my eyes adapt to the dark first.

Read this through my left eye in a pitch black room... due to my asymmetrical astigmatism, this is the only way I can use my phone in the dark. Hopefully it doesn't affect me for a while
