Hi @julianned, I have not heard of altered color vision before. Looking at this article on Mayo Clinic (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/poor-color-vision/symptoms-causes/syc-20354988), it states that causes may be
- Certain medications. Some medications can alter color vision, such as some drugs that treat heart problems, high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, infections, nervous disorders and psychological problems.
- Aging. Your ability to see colors deteriorates slowly as you age.
- Chemicals. Exposure to some chemicals in the workplace, such as carbon disulfide and fertilizers, may cause loss of color vision.
Have you had a change in medications or exposure to chemicals?

Hi Colleen thanks for responding to me. None of the medications I am on have that as a known side effect. I have no known exposure to Carbon Monoxide. I did some research and learned that if you have sun in your eyes when you sleep you can wake up with pigmentation problems. I have since been sleeping with a sheet over my face, which has actually helped. Other than those prior times I noted and now once more after acupuncture, I have not had the issue.
