Incidentally, I do not think it has to do with cataracts either. I have had cataract surgery on both eyes. I see the effect now (left eye warmer color, right colder). This could be due to differences in composition between the two prosthetic lenses (implanted a couple of years apart), except that I am fairly sure I remember experiencing just the same difference before I had either surgery.
