Color difference between left and right eyes?

I don't know if it's serious or not, but I'm curious if this has happened to anybody else, I've noticed this while covering each eye because the eye doctor keeps screwing up my prescription. I'm looking at this sign here which has red text out of my right eye, but when I switch to my left eye the text becomes pink. Am I going to die? Yes I realize giantbomb are not doctors, I just don't feel like going to the doctor if it's nothing serious.

TAKE IT OUT WITH A SPOON QUICKLY BEFORE IT INFECTS YOUR BRAIN!!

I think you may have leprosy. I wouldn't worry about it.

I thought you were talking about different colored eyes. This just sounds like differences in sensitivity between the rods and cones in each eye or something.

It's Lupus.

Have you been hit in the head recently?

You might have pinkeye. Did you or someone you know fart on your head pillow? This can cause pinkeye. Source: I read it somewhere on the internet.

You're not going to die, it's just a form of colourblindness in one eye. See your Doctor, but there is no need to panic dude.

Does it still happen if you look at the sign from a different angle? Also are you sure you're not imagining it? If I cover an eye, I can never tell which of my eyes is the better one, if I do it always feels like I'm imagining things.

Whenever I posted about my ear being clogged or possibly infected, people would always tell to just go see a doctor. So... go see a doctor.

Try Yahoo Answers. It always gives sound advice.

Nope, don't have that issue and have never heard of it.

I have the same, and have had for as long as I can remember. I'll let you know if I develop a tumourous growth in one of my eyes, but I'd say you're fine.

Apparently some forms of red-weak color blindess can occur in a single eye. Though if this is a new issue, it probably isn't that.

Yeah, I'd say it's some form of color-blindness. It's awkward that it's only out of one eye. I'm pretty sure my left eye is slightly worse than my right 'cause when I cover my right eye the left is a little unfocused. I have 20/20 though...

@CL60: It's a common human experience. Most people never even notice that we slightly see colors differently from each eye. In some people, it is more pronounced, and with others, it can get more disparate with age.

It can also be caused by damage from a laser or strong light only hitting one eye, but unless you have had eye surgery or had a known incident, that's unlikely. It's more likely that you simply have a natural difference in color that has become more noticeable as you've gotten older. It shouldn't have anything to do with a wrongful prescription, but you can mention it to your eye doctor to look into. Unless it is particularly distracting, I doubt it is something really worth much concern.

I experienced this briefly and after googling some website was telling me it was the sweetener in Diet drinks, sounds unlikely to me though and it eventually passed.

You could just be color blind in one eye. It does happen much like some people cant see as well in one eye as the other (one is far sighted or something).

I have a similar problem, in my left eye colors seem brighter and my right eye colors are more intense.

You may have ass cancer. Infact, you DO have ass cancer.

Oh no. :(

I've actually noticed it before, but I can't seem to get it now. So maybe you won't die?

Pink eye is a hell of a dru... yes.. drug.
