Unlikely: Best to have your concerns discussed with your retina specialist. Having treatment in one eye may make you more aware of your vision in the opposite eye as you may temporarily be relying more on that side's vision. Also, the process that led to the challenges in the first eye can also be effecting and progressing in the second eye.
