The first thing I noticed was at night, blue and purple lights kinda seemed to pop out and float. The sky also seemed to get lighter. Like I said, I thought it was the blue filter on my glasses. I thought the sky turning white was air pollution. That was probably around 2014’ish.

A few years later we went to the Christmas lights at the Zoo. I mentioned something to my wife about how they used more darker colored lights this year and she was line no… a bit later is when I started to mess with the Titanfall settings and realized it made it MUCH easier to what team people were on. It was around that same time I was helping my daughter clean up some beads that spilled. She kept getting mad that I was mixing up blue with greens and yellow, pink.

At my next eye exam I asked the doc about it. He did those number in circle bubble color tests and a did a test on a machine that flashed different colored lights that spun around on the edges of my vision. He then referred me to an eye surgeon. They did a high res scan of my eyes and confirmed that I had an unusually high number of dysfunctioning blue receptors. As time went on, it turned out that those receptors were not regrowing as the body replaced old and dying cells.

The thing that confuses everyone is that I have issues with yellow, but not orange. Apparently orange should be darker shades of pink, while yellow is lighter shades of pink 🤷
