A member asked:

I have blepharitis n dry eyes in both eyes but see blur patch n ripples only in r eye. doc said it's caused by dryness but why only in 1 eye not both?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Asymmetrical: Symptoms on both the eyes are not necessarily the same in both eyes. You should be happy that you have symptoms only in 1 eye.
