A member asked:

All light suddenly appeared to change to a purple/violet tint. what does this mean about my vision?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Temporary effect: If the vision change was brief (only lasting a few minutes), it could be caused by a quick change from a very dark environment to a very bright one, or vice versa. If this is persistent, see an eye doctor.
