Asymmetry: The autonomic (automatic) nervous system keeps you alive when you are asleep or unconscious. This system is asymmetric in its messages to the body. Poor diet will exaggerate the asymmetry hence the blood vessels in one eye are being dilated and not the other. Look at your diet and if it applies, stop all forms of sugar.
