Seeing colours in 3D after illness

[Spatty_lee]

Not life-threatening or anything, but after a crushing attack of vertigo 3 years ago, I see blues and reds in 3D. On a flat surface, the colours have depth in my brain. Coloured text on TV, stained glass windows - all stick out or drop back. Anyone have a name/cause for this please?

I don't have a clue what is wrong with you, but it does remind me of a prison warder who was held at knifepoint in a US prison. Unable to turn to face his assailant, and flushed with all sorts of chemicals as a result of the situation (mainly adrenalin I'd guess), he became capable of 200 degree vision (Men normally have about 120 degrees of useful vision, women more). His brain literally rewired itself and started using dormant bits in order to try and give him potentially life saving abilities. I wonder whether your traumatic experience has caused a similar thing? At any rate, you should see a doctor to put your mind at ease.
