Yeah, I remember commmenting to my sister, Sarah, that I had noticed a sort of warm/cool color difference between my eyes. Subtle, but certainly there. She looked at me like I was retarded. I haven’t noticed it recently, however.

This is a much more difficult one to tell than the which-eye-is-dominant test. I *think* mine are about the same…

Before I knew that I needed glasses, I would have sworn the same thing - colors looked different from eye to eye. It turns out that even a slight lack of focus or fuzziness can make colors appear ‘off’ when you change from eye to eye.

Don’t forget that when you close one eye you’re adjusting the pressure, so when you open it again the difference in color/focus/clarity WILL be perceptibly altered… but I see white differently in each eye, never really took the time to figure out what specifically is different, one is just grayer than the other.

When I was in elementary school, I had some visual problem that involved me wearing little paper frames with cellophane lenses, but instead of the traditional 3-D blue and red, they were red and green (one color on each eye). I don’t recall what this means or what problem it supposedly solved. So I guess this is of no help to you or anyone else.
hmm… I always defer to Dr. Mike Huddleston (office on Dixie Ave.) for eye questions such as the one you present here.

Do you only notice this when one eye is closed? Do both eyes together seem to produce a “real” image or is the combined image off as well? I went to a movie once where I had to wear corrective red and blue tented glasses so I could see the picture correctly.
