Cyanopsia

/saɪ.əˈnɑp.siə/ noun

Definition

A visual condition where a person sees everything with a blue tint or blue coloration.

Etymology

From cyano- (blue) + -opsia (from Greek opsis meaning 'vision' or 'sight'). This medical term was coined to describe color vision abnormalities.

Kelly Says

People with cyanopsia might experience this after certain medications, eye surgeries, or cataracts—it's like wearing blue-tinted glasses that your brain can't remove, and it can be one of the stranger symptoms patients report to their eye doctors.
