are my eyes polarizing light?

i have a cold and when i was coming home from school on the bus my right eye started to water because my right nostil was stuffed. to prevent looking like i was crying i just covered my right eye while it watered itself out. while looking outside of the bus i noticed that just looking with my left eye, i could actually see everything turning a light tint of red. after my right eye stopped watering i opened it up and looked outside, my right eye saw everything with a strong green tint while my left eye had a red tint. after about 10 minutes they went back to both seeing white light again.

polarization or something biological?
 
Possibly minor blood vessels bursting in your retina?

Although we would then have to explain why you have green blood 🙁

My guess is its something to do with some of your rods becoming desnsitized when you squeezed your eye, did you look at something bright green before you squeezed your eye?
 
Could've been some pressure being applied on the nerve.

edit: Those aren't effects of polarization, just the green receptors being oversensitive or the others being under sensitive.
 
well, normally, your eyes shoudl return to normal much faster... when I've pushed on my eye, for a couple seconds I'll usually see green/red spots. but 10 minutes? if something like this happens again, i'd probably see a doctor.
 
If I'm not mistaken polarization has nothing to due with the wavelength of light.

As for the red and green how fast was the bus going?
 
Well you know how on monitors and t.v.'s you have Color temp? Well my eyes are like that. Its kinda strange, if I look through my right eye everything has a cooler tint than my other eye. So one eye sees things more of a umm golden color while my left see a more white color.
 
I know what u meen, if i sit in my livingroom woth only one eye open (its a sortof pink/red room) then everything appears bluer in my other eye when i open it... and it can somethimes take up to 10 mins to go away.
 
I wonder how many people on this forum are sitting in front of their computers today squinting through one eye and then the other.

And I wonder how many people are looking at us while we're doing that and wondering if they shouldn't pull the plug on the old Internet experience!!! 😀
 
I have often wished for a set of polarized contact lenses, especially after wearing my fly-fishing glasses for an extended period of time. The world's colors just seem so much more vivid than usual. Too bad it'd be such a pain in the ass to keep the contacts in straight and vertical.
 
I've wanted some glasses with the lenses polarized in opposite directions so I can find out who has polarized glasses by the way they look at me 🙂
 
I have a green eye and a red eye. It's very subtle and it is really hard to tell which is which most of the time. When both eyes are open everything looks normal. I imagine that most people have this, it's just so hard to tell they never notice. You could tell the difference after uncovering your eye because it wasn't adjusted to the light yet, or at least that's my guess.

I don't think so... I can get either eye to be blue or yellow. All you have to do is be in a bright room and have one eye closed. if you then turn off the lights and open both eyes, one will see everything bluer, one yellower, depending on which you covered.

oops, I just realized that I typed blue/yellow when red/green may also apply.
 
I don't have to do anything special to make my eyes different colors. My right eye is always blue/green, and my left eye is always red, unless I do something to try and change it, like what you described.
