Seeing differant colors through each eye.

Post Reply New Topic

I perceive color differently with my two eyes. It is quite a subtile difference, except
under bright lights. No one has ever believed me.

As I said I am just the same as the last few people .

Maybe it's normal to have slightly different colour views with each eye.

Maybe. Though nobody I've ever spoken with before has had this.

No problem with colors - but my vision is not correctable to 20/20 in one eye.

a hundred percent my situation. but since i am very dependent on my dominant right eye, i dont notice anything about it really.

Yes I agree ........... the exact same for me ! !

Yes! Sort of. With one eye everything has a coolish tinge, while the other eye gives everything more of a warm look. It's quite subtle.

Yes.

One of my eyes sees white as pure white yet the other eye as very slightly off white.
One of my eyes sees red as red yet the other eye sees red as closer to a shade of orange.

Like many people here I have never been able to convince anyone that my eyes perceive the world differently, nor have I found anyone that has noticed the same until now. I believe this is because NTs are less inclined to examine the world the way that we do.

My right eye appears to have a red filter over it when compared to the left.

In the sun, one eye sees my arms as peachy-looking and the other as washed out. I always figured it was just a matter of one eye being a little more in the shade.

i believe there is a reason for this, at least in its subtle permutations (slightly different colours in each eye). i think it has something to do with our binocular vision - if the colours were identical in each eye, we would not see in our usual three dimensions (like 3D glasses). don't remember where i read this.

in an extreme form (only certain colours in each eye), i have no idea why or how it would come about. perhaps an opthalmologist would know.

I have this slightly, too.

It's weird for me. Right now it's not like this, but I know what you're talking about... I think. Sometimes one eye will be more blue-ish and the other will be more red-ish.

For a while, one of my eyes saw a tiny bit more blue, while one saw a tiny bit more red. Just like Dnuos said. They don't seem to do this as much since I had laser corrective surgery for my near-sightedness, but it's still slightly noticeable at times.

I do have red-green color blindness; I wonder if that's related at all. I currently work in electronics and I have trouble at times with red and green wires, and the red, green, and brown bands on resistors. Thank God for multimeters and my valuable skills at other parts of the job!

I find this really interesting...I too perceive the intensity of colours differently in each eye, but i always put it down to an accident I had in my left eye when i was 4 which left a small scar and my pupil doesn't close as tight as my right. I have astigmatism in my left eye and recently was told that i have it in my right eye too, albeit slightly.

My depth perception is wierd too, i view the world like one of those 3D scene cards (the ones where certain bits are built up with another layer). My therapist thinks this is quite interesting

It's our brain's processing + having two slightly different views that lets us perceive depth.

I'd assume most people see colors in both eyes identically (or close to it) though it makes sense it would be possible for the number or distribution of color receptors in both eyes not to be identical. Interesting too as it lets someone more easily understand how another person might see the world in different colors!

I always assumed that that was due to the fact that I sometimes in my youth I would point a (>5 mW) red laser directly into my right eye.
