It looks like those poor people have burned a color bias into their left
and right visual processing channels by "viewing a lot of anaglyph 3D"
with mostly the same color polarity (like the way an LC device can be
damaged if exposed to a DC bias). Perhaps the solution is to get some
red-on-the-left anaglyphs and some red-on-the-right anaglyphs, and spend
an equal amount of time viewing each type.
