What is wrong with my eye?!?!?!

[tacotomato]

I’ve noticed recently that sometimes things don’t look the same in both eyes. It’s as if the vision in one eye is darker. The best example is if I look at my phone screen and it’s on a white page eg google, everything looks like the expected bright white when I use one eye, but when I close that eye and open the other eye to compare it it looks much more greyer, dulled and a bit darker in that eye. Everything is still sharp and clear, it’s just things look much darker especially white. It’s not constant- it happens on and off but it’s most noticeable when I wake up. I had an eye test recently which was fine and I don’t wear glasses right now.

does anyone know what this could be?

Might sound odd, but do you sometimes have one eye closed? Some people do this eg when reading. If you’ve had one eye closed for a while then things will look a lot brighter in that eye.

I’ve experienced that myself, but it took me a long time to realise I was doing it!

Or how old are you? Could be cataracts.

that's interesting I hadn't actually considered that! I dont think I do close one eye but I'll keep check in case I do without realising it. Hopefully not cataracts, im only 25!
