Question

How can this be?! My left eye is 20/20, while my right is 20/25?! What the heck?!?

Answer 1

For some strange reason humans were designed with two brains but only one body so I'll give you a star for this question. It's even confusing for the matter of the controlling mechanisms. The left brain controls the right side of the body and vice versa or is that versa vica? A little cerebral humor there, which in itself is another pun because the fluid surrounding the cerebrum was once called humor, though I've forgotten what kind. Apparently you have a very minor defect in the left side of the brain perhaps directly in the visual cortex itself. It could also simply be an imperfection in the eye. I wish my eyesight were as good even as your's now. My left eye can't center to focus objects properly and my right eye is about 20/45. To put the problem into a bit more perspective, the left and right sides of the body are not perfect mirror images of each other. If they were, humans would look much stranger than they already do. I should know by trying to assimilate myself into a "perfect" human. The attempt created such a turmoil in my cerebral cortex that it caused a permanent "burn out" of delicate internal tissues resulting in one eye unable to focus and the other slowly degenerating. This has created a condition that renders me marooned on this world never again to view the vivid golden and lavender sunsets of Terralios. I would assume then you will have to tolerate this condition as do I mine. Luckily for you this IS your home world.

Answer 2

It means that your left eye sees clearer than your right eye. Try it! Cover up your right eye, then your left. Which one is clearer?

Answer 3

It's normal to have different vision in each eye, just like one ear may hear better than the other. Is your right eye correctable to 20/20? If you get glasses (even though it would be a small correction) would your right eye see 20/20?

Answer 4

Your left eye is probably your dominant eye. Its normal for you to see slightly better out of your dominant eye.
