Erythropsia

Erythropsia (also known as red vision ) is a visual disorder in which the objects fixed by the eye appear reddish. The disorder is usually caused by strong glare and the associated overstimulation of the retina, but can also occur due to lens loss during cataract operations and snow blindness .
