One eye is blurry and see's a lower brightness
Hey guys,
I'm only 22 and I've had 20/20 vision all my life. I started noticing a very slight difference in the ability of my right eye to focus compared to my left about 2 years ago but thought it was just in my head.
Now, however, if I close my left eye, everything gets quite blurry, especially text. Meanwhile, my left eye still seems to have 20/20 vision.
The focal length of my right eye is a few mm away from my face while my left eye is a few feet, which is extremely concerning to me.
On top of that, colours seem to have different hues/brightness when I look through each eye individually. Colours are brighter through my left, and darker through my right.
At the moment it isn't affecting my life THAT much, I'm just concerned that I have some sort of eye disease/ degeneration in my right eye, and I'm scared I'll eventually go blind in it.
Does anybody know any reasons for this occurring? I'm only 22 and I feel like this kind of stuff shouldn't be happening so early in life.

Your symptoms ARE CONCERNING and there is nothing comforting I can say. You MUST SEE AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST eyeMD in the very near future. Whole host of diseases that can cause that. Your age does not exempt you from problems like optic neuritis. Start immediately to make an expedited appointment with Eye MD ophthalmologist. DO NOT IGNORE THIS>
