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.

    I had this a year or so ago, when I had to have surgery on my eyes and have new artificial lenses put in. They only do it one eye at a time with a long gap in between, and after the first one there was a noticeable difference in colour tone between the two eyes.

    Thankfully, once the second one was done, both were back to the same colour tone, but it was a very weird experience having never had it before.
