One eye has red eye in photos, but the other eye never does. could this be an indication of a medical problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The red eye side is probably normal. The other side may have something blocking the view, or is turned in or out side, or have a major vision problem. I assume this is a child. This requires evaluation very soon by a pediatric ophthalmologist (or a regular ophthalmologist if an adult). Don't delay.
