Could be several: names depending on the condition? Amblyopia (one eye sees well, other doesn't see at all); Astigmatism (one eye has different contour so it may see differently, easy to correct with glasses); heteropsia (one eye sees size differently); heteropsia (unequal vision in eyes); anisometropia (refractive error difference is great, may make one eye amblyopic; due to image size difference).
