Observations of visual phenomena by an O continuously wearing blue-yellow split-half lens for an 11-day period are reported. Color adaptation began on the first day but hue and brightness distortions associated with specific body position continued to be observed. Situational aftereffects of hue, related to body position, continued during the first day after removal of the spectacles, and of brightness for an additional 24 hr.
