Let's look at some symptoms of diseases based on the sense of color.
Symptoms of diseases based on the sense of color
Color perception disorder
People who use LSD or other hallucinogens, as well as people with hangovers, often see things in strange colors. But if you have nothing to do with drugs, then the distortion of the color perception of objects is known in medical language like chromatopsia - maybe early sign diabetic eye disease.
Even small changes in blood sugar levels can sometimes cause visual disturbances. In the case of a confirmed diagnosis of diabetes, color distortion complicates the process of self-monitoring blood sugar levels using colored strips that are dipped into urine. So there's one more reason to say no to cake.
Very often, diabetic athletes experience clear changes in color perception after intense training or games. This could very well be an early sign of diabetic eye disease.
If most of the things you look at have a yellow tint, you may be experiencing symptoms of a type of chromatopsia called xanthopsia. Xanthopsia warns you of developing jaundice caused by serious illness liver.
If you are taking digitalis (a medicine commonly prescribed to treat certain heart conditions) and suddenly start seeing objects in your yellow color, and even with a certain halo around, perhaps these symptoms are a warning about digitalis poisoning. Immediate medical intervention, since this condition is fraught with heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia and is deadly.
Color perception in men
If your male partner, who has always looked at life through rose-colored glasses, suddenly begins to complain that everything now appears in some kind of bluish, sad color, perhaps it is not that he is in a state of depression. Who knows, maybe he takes too many stimulants that guarantee pleasure. When a man sees objects in a light bluish haze, which is often accompanied by increased color sensitivity, we are talking about one of the common side effects use of Viagra, Cialis or Levitra, used to treat sexual disorders.
If you are being treated for functional sexual disorder and suddenly lose sight in one or both eyes, stop taking the medication immediately and contact your doctor as soon as possible. This may be a sign of non-arterial ischemic optic neuropathy, a condition that can lead to blindness. Men with retinal disease or other vision problems should avoid these drugs.
Now you know the main symptoms of diseases by the sense of color.
Treatment of diseases based on the sense of color
Some of the signs described above require immediate medical attention, others do not. But if you have doubts, it is better to visit an ophthalmologist as soon as possible. In the case of pain, changes in visual perception(especially if accompanied by nausea and vomiting) or persistent flashes of light, consult a doctor immediately. Well, no matter what condition your eyes are in, do not forget to regularly check your vision - a preventive medical examination often helps maintain proper eye function and eliminate different types medical problems. This is especially important for diabetics. The following is a list of specialists who can diagnose and treat eye diseases:
Ophthalmologist: a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating symptoms of eye diseases and functional disorders.
Optometrist: although he is not a doctor with higher education, but specializes in vision problems and prescribes appropriate products - glasses, contact lenses, special exercise equipment and treatment. Optometrists can recognize glaucoma, cataracts, degeneration macular spot and prescribe medications for a range of diseases.
Optician: Also not a physician, but selects appropriate glasses and offers other optical assistance as prescribed by an ophthalmologist and optometrist.
Why does one eye see warmer colors and the other colder? and got the best answer
Answer from Baturin[guru]
According to the evolutionary theory of asymmetry (), the evolution of any structures (and information flows) goes from symmetry to asymmetry. Asymmetrization along the top-bottom axis occurred under the influence of the gravitational field. Asymmetrization along the front-back axis occurred during interaction with the spatial field, when fast movement was needed (to escape from a predator, to catch up with prey). As a result, the main receptors and the brain were located in the front of the body. Asymmetrization along the left-right axis occurs in time, that is, one side (organ) is more advanced, “avant-garde” (as if in the future), and the other is “rear-guard” (still in the past).
Dominance is a form of asymmetry. The dominant hemisphere or organ performs its functions better and is therefore more preferable. A person can be strongly right-handed in one function (writing), weakly left-handed in another (grabbing), and ambidextrous (symmetrical) in a third.
It is assumed () that during the Mesozoic period, early mammals occupied a subordinate position in relation to the “reigning reptiles” (especially dinosaurs), had small sizes and a twilight lifestyle. sunlight has the greatest intensity in the green and red (warm) parts of the spectrum, and in twilight lighting the cold (blue) part of the spectrum is of greater importance.
Geodakyan attributes the lower end, the back part, right hemisphere brain and left side bodies to conservative subsystems. At the same time, the flows new information coming from the environment to the operational subsystems (upper end, front part of the body, left hemisphere brain and Right side body) are directed from top to bottom, front to back and left to right for the brain (right to left for the body). A new character arises at the operative end and, if it is not needed there, drifts in phylogeny towards the conservative end.
From me: Based on what has been said, it can be assumed that for most people, warm colors are seen better by the right eye, and cold colors by the left.
Again from Geodakan:
The left eye is more sensitive to simple signals (flash of light), and the right eye is more sensitive to complex signals (words, numbers) (old and new stimuli). The left eye is more sensitive to ordinary words, and the right eye is more sensitive to brands (old and new words). Environmental sounds (the sound of rain, sea, dog barking, coughing, etc.) are heard better left ear, and semantic (words, numbers) - right (old and new sounds). In humans, according to dichotic speech signals, in the first days there is an advantage of the right ear, and after a week - the left. Recognizes familiar objects better by touch left hand, and unfamiliar - right (old and new objects)

my advice: go to an ophthalmologist
Answer from Olvira Allaberdieva[guru]
one hand is raking, the other is modest, for some reason one leg always pulls to the left and the other kicks its ass
Answer from Ural74[active]
good question! I would like to know myself!
Answer from Mikhail Levin[guru]
I compared it - mine is exactly the same.
But my square frame seems taller to one eye than it is wider, and wider to the other eye than it is taller. Normal astigmatism

are you really human?
Answer from Releboy[guru]
The terminator's eyepiece settings are wrong?? ? And it’s not just the eyes that see differently. Dashenka, try on your arms and legs - surely which one is longer, the other shorter? And you go to an otolorhinologist and find out that one ear hears one frequency range, the other hears another. A right lung more than the left by two lobes. Why read? After all, these are people, not clones. If everyone were the same, there would be no need for doctors. It would be enough to issue universal instructions for treating humans...

My situation is even better - one eye sees everything with a greenish tint, the other with a reddish tint. Together is fine.
Some kind of 3D.
Answer from Edward Unknown[guru]
Working as an amateur on a tacheometer during the day, I sometimes rolled my left eye so much that it actually saw an almost black and white image.
Why as an amateur? because the pros in schools teach you to look in turns ^_^ left/right
Answer from Mikhail Zhukovsky[newbie]
I have the same thing myself. I noticed that it depends on the lighting. If, for example, the lamp was on the right, then the right eye sees colder than the left.
One eye sees warmer tones, the other cooler. For about a year now, the left eye sees worse than the right, and everything is dark colors, as if through the prism of “cloudy”, and the right one, on the contrary, in warm colors. Is this normal? The vision itself is poor. With my left eye I can hardly distinguish letters in the distance, only close up, and even then with difficulty. During the examination they said that everything was fine with the eyes. Should I be worried and what could it be?
Good afternoon, Alexander! Unfortunately, we cannot assess the condition of your visual system and make a diagnosis in absentia. Please note that if vision is not 100%, then it cannot be said that “everything is fine” with vision. The complaints you mentioned may be a sign various diseases– accordingly, treatment tactics will be different. IN in this case We recommend that you contact comprehensive examination visual system in a specialized ophthalmology clinic.
When the question arises about what is called different vision before our eyes, the answer will be one: anisometropia. Given pathological condition occurs in cases where optical system loses the ability to refract rays. That is visual organs with this disease they have different optical powers. may be accompanied by the development of astigmatism. Of course, the disease is provoked by certain factors, and without proper treatment it causes complications.
When a person is impaired visual functions, are selected effective ways corrections. This refers to the use of glasses and lenses.
But if different vision is detected in the eyes, corrective optics are not always able to help. It's all about the reasons that cause anisometropia - a disease that is characterized by the presence of different vision in the eyes.
In order for a correct and unblurred image to be formed, it is necessary that the parallel rays emanating from the object intersect at the retinal focus. If this process is disrupted, a decrease in visual acuity is observed.
When the difference in refractive power between the eyes is one or two diopters, binocular vision will not be particularly affected. But if the indicators differ significantly more, then the development of refractive anisometropia should be expected. Moreover, the refraction in one eye may be normal, but in the other it will be abnormal. But, basically, the pathology affects both eyes.
It is advisable to eliminate anisometropia in time, otherwise the patient may face dangerous consequences:
- squint;
- amblyopia (when, due to inactivity of the eye, its visual functions are lost).
Causes and types of illness
It is impossible to ignore the condition when the visual apparatus is exposed to various lesions.
You should know that different vision in the eyes can have different reasons:
- congenital;
- acquired.
Doctors usually diagnose a congenital pathology.
Acquired anisometropia occurs when:
- Progression of cataracts is observed.
- Negative consequences arise after the surgical intervention on the organs of vision.
If we talk about hereditary predisposition, then in babies under one year of age the disease is asymptomatic. With age, symptoms become more pronounced. Manifestations will depend on the extent of the disease.
It happens:
- weak (the difference between the eyes is a maximum of 3 diopters);
- medium (the difference can reach six diopters);
- strong (over 6 diopters).
In addition, anisometropia occurs:
- refractive (characterized by the presence of the same length of the axis of the eyes and a difference in refraction);
- axial (accordingly, there is a difference in the length of the axis, but the refraction is not impaired);
- mixed (both the first and second parameters have differences).
If the degree is weak, the disorders are almost not felt. When pathology of the highest degree develops, binocular vision is impaired. There is no clear image. At the same time, it is difficult for the patient to navigate in space. Often visual stress provokes excessive fatigue eye.
Whichever eye has the most severe damage, suffers more accordingly. In other words, its activity will be suppressed by the brain. The result is the development of amblyopia.
Another consequence is strabismus, which is caused by weakening of the rectus muscle of the affected eye and its deviation to the side.
Diagnostic methods and therapy
Making a diagnosis requires:
- Visometry (tables are used to determine the level of acuity).
- Perimetry (thanks to a certain device, the boundaries of the visual fields are revealed).
- Refractometry.
- Skiascopy (refractive power is determined using a light beam and a mirror).
- Ophthalmoscopy (the doctor uses an ophthalmoscope to examine the bottom of the eye).
- Ophthalmometry (the radius of curvature of the cornea is determined using an ophthalmometer).
- Study of binocular vision (synoptophore and four-point color test are used).
The method by which the pathology will be eliminated is determined by the level and type of refractive errors. Visual dysfunction is usually corrected with glasses or contact lenses. But this method is not suitable for every patient. It is necessary that the difference in refractive power should not be more than 3 diopters. 
The selection of lenses is carried out for each specific case separately. It is necessary to wear them correctly and periodically undergo examination by an ophthalmologist, receiving the necessary consultations from him.
A patient who wears lenses may suffer from:
- epithelial edema;
- keratitis;
- damage to the corneal layer.
If conservative methods turned out to be useless, the doctor decides to carry out laser surgery. It is also prescribed to patients whose degree of illness is high. After surgery, it may take a week or two for the improvement to become apparent.
There is no need to panic when anisometropia is diagnosed. If detected early, the problem can be completely eliminated, especially if there is weak degree diseases.
