i am almost always inside. i sat outside directly in the sun today then walked in maybe 20 minutes later and my vision is mostly green and i can barely see. it’s finally clearing up slowly. why does this happen?
In: Biology
Our sun’s light spectrum peaks at green light. When you’re outside and exposed to heavy sunlight the green cones in your eyes are being activated to a point of saturation. When you move back inside, the cones continue to send signals to the brain as if they are still seeing a lot of green which makes everything have a green tint. After a while, the cones readjust to the actual amount of green being perceived.
This might be a bit wrong, but should in the ballpark. If anyone can expand on it, go for it.
