Eye brightness discrepancy

Okay so I noticed something like 2 or 3 years ago. In a few words the brightness in my left eye is lower than in my right eye. I can notice it especially when it's a sunny day and after a walk I go back in a darker place, look around and it feels weird in the left eye. It's like a veil is in front of my left eye, lowering the brightness. Other than that, I don't have any problems seeing. It's just a bit annoying when I go back in a dark room in a sunny day, or even when I turn the lights off, lay on a bed and look around.

I already visited a very trustworthy eye doctor and a friend of my father's. Nothing was found. In my left eye I have a smaller myopia than in the right eye. But that's not what I worry about. It doesn't seem to have gotten worse. The doctor said it is nothing to worry about and told me it could be that that liquid in the eye( don't know the word in english ) has bigger density in one place of my left eye.

In the past, like everyone, reflections and whatnot have reached my eyes but nothing like a direct hit or something that could cause a perm blind spot.I am just worried in case it's damage from the use of lasers. I recall burning matches with a red and my eyes would hurt then thinking that it was that burning which caused the difference in brightness, but that was when I started playing with lasers and got to know the dangers of them. I even admit I didnt used proper safety goggles when I bought the dicksextreme dilda. What do you guys have in mind? Should I be worried? Does anyone else have similar "symptoms" ? Last time I went to the eye doctor it was a year ago. I will be paying a visit to another eye doctor next week for my yearly check. Lastly, I apologize for the poor use of english here, but I wanted to explain things as simple as I could.

First of all That fluid is lacrimal fluid, and it is fine if you have difference in densities of the lacrimal fluid, if it is increased in one eye at a particular time, same could happen to the other eye at another time , body has a very complex compensatory mechanism, you can just protect your eyes now its not too late, And hopefully you feel better, the doctors are highly qualified and if they say it is fine , you shouldnt be worrying about it.. Just leave the lasers for a while or if you cant just use very good quality eyewear from now on and see if it makes any difference, maybe you should test your vision you may need glasses... And again what can anyone say without being in your shoes by himself..

I haven't played with a laser for a month or so. And no, it's not hard. In fact, there are times I am bored while playing with my 445's

I think the soldering job by Simon is the cause.

Sorry Simon :p
