Chloropsia

/klɔːˈrɑːpsiə/ noun

Definition

A rare visual condition where a person perceives objects or the entire visual field as having a green tint or color.

Etymology

From chloro- (green, from Greek 'chloros') plus -opsia (from Greek 'opsis' meaning vision or sight).

Kelly Says

While chloropsia is rare, color vision anomalies reveal how much our brain interprets what our eyes see—the same wavelengths of light can be perceived as different colors depending on how our neural pathways process them.
