I’ve always been fascinated by this optical phenomenon.
\n
\nYou see, my eyes don’t perceive color the same way. Whether it’s physiological or neurological I don’t really know, but it’s really obvious in bright sunlight, usually in the mid to late afternoon.<\/p>\n
My left eye, the one that’s generally dominant, sees everything with a bluish tint. It’s not that things look blue if they’re not; they are just noticeably more blue, as you see in photos taken with the built-in flash on inexpensive cameras. (Some expensive cameras have this trait too, but that’s another topic.) My right eye, on the other hand, has a definite reddish tint, though rather less pronounced than the effect in my left eye.<\/p>\n
Next time you’re out in bright sunlight, and particularly if it’s well off to one side, see if you notice anything different about your perception of color in each eye. I have to think that I’m not the only one who ever noticed this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
