Meanwhile I need reading glasses for working at my laptop. I have several 10-euro-glasses, probably from china. I didnt notice any color cast so far.
Only recently started editing photos. The tint I knew about, but learned I don’t have a problem with tint (I always wear glasses, since ever, so monitor and real-life always match).
But one problem is chromatic abberation: Judging color fringes with glasses is horror. Depending on location and angle, my glasses compensate existing fringes, or create ones out of thin air. I always noticed them, but until I wanted to do editing it never really bothered me. Now I always have to zoom and pan around, look from different angles through the glasses, and it is somewhat annoying.
I don’t think this does “make you edit differently” w.r.t. results, but is does make you edit differently during operation.
Another possible question: “Does your age make you edit differently?”
Interesting article in The Guardian (a UK newspaper): “Was everything brighter 40 years ago? How color perception changes as we age”.

Definitely. I had cataract surgery on both eyes three weeks ago. The difference compared to before is striking, even though one eye was still relatively free of cataracts. My color perception has changed significantly. Compared to now, everything used to have a yellow tint.
The IOLs that were implanted simulate the color perception of a person around 40 years old (slight yellow tint). I wonder how I would see colors if it weren’t for the tint.
Sooner or later, the brain will adjust. However, if I needed constant color vision for my job, that would certainly be a problem.
I had the same problem. Chromatic aberrations and prism effects increase with the refractive index of the lenses. For me, mineral lenses with a refractive index of 1.5 provided the best image quality. Unfortunately, they were thick and heavy

Certainly, cataracts cause a colour-shift. In the research I linked, no participants had cataracts. The study seems to show that older people have less sensitivity than young people to chroma for colours that are green or magenta.
From the study, we might expect an older editor to prefer a higher chroma in the a* axis of L*a*b*, compared to a younger editor.

After reading the original article, I don’t see how
Using a camera that recorded pupil diameter 1,000 times per second, Van Leeuwen’s team observed how participants’ pupils reacted to each color. They found a reduction in the way older people’s pupils responded to more highly saturated colors, even when correcting for the shrunken baseline pupil sizes that come with age.
Thus, it seems some older adults may genuinely perceive the world as less colorful.
follows. All we learn that this older people have slower and more moderated pupil reactions, but it is not demonstrated that this occurs because of visual perception. Also, those sample sizes (17 young vs 10 old) are truly tiny. A single individual could be driving these results; error bands are not shown in the graphs.

I am myopic and use glasses to watch TV.
However, I edit without glasses with my nose about 18" from my 24" 1920x1200px monitor and can only just make the 0.265 mm pixels at around 10".
