What do you suggest if my eyesight in my left eye be stronger?

Anisometropua: Anisometropia refers to a difference in vision prescription strength between two eyes. It is not uncommon and does not mean there is any problem. If you want to see well out of both eyes, see an eye doctor for a complete evaluation and possible glasses.
