I had crazy optical nerve issues from advanced neurological Lyme earlier this year.
It was like an old VGA cable wasn’t plugged in correctly and the colors didn’t quite line up. Also had a white area appearing in the center of both eyes.
It was scary as heck. I was told not to expect full recovery due to what you stated. I am happy to report that taking my meds + time and I am back to 100%, as far as the vision at least.
First of all, congrats on your recovery! The worst condition I've ever experienced myself was a massive scintillating scotoma, so I kinda can imagine how you felt.
Still, as a neuroscience researcher I am very interested, if possible, in hearing a little bit more details. You mentioned a color shift. Since you compared that with a broken VGA, I assume the colors were attached to actual objects but were incorrect, right? As if someone had played with color filters in Photoshop.
Did you experience color that was "detached" from an object, like a poorly calibrated printing press that shifts one of the colors a bit?
What about the fills? Was it like a random color noise texture or a solid fill but with incorrect color?

The human body is very strange.
