yeah, I was referring to Blue Neon Signs or Blue LED signs on dark background.

Tell your doctor about the double vision. I had the same thing going on, and I just thought it was normal when one was tired. The doctor put a prism in my prescription and that has helped a lot.

Misguided designers who put a blue backlight on a display, or use blue light for general illumination, are Doing It Wrong. Black-on-blue or blue-on-black is much harder to read than almost any other black-and-color combination.

Exactly! I have seen many blue on black signs that are near impossible to see at a distance, especially at night. Red on black is much easier, as is white, or any other color besides blue!

i cant see the blue like you are talking about, never thought to mention it to my eye doc -- just thought it was crappy design... heavy stig in my right eye -- to heavy to fix with contacts or lasers...
