Hello
Welcome to Health Care Magic.

I am Dr. Dadapeer K an ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that there is slight difference in vision in the eyes with right eye eye having a vision of 20/15 and left eye 20/20.
This slight difference is common and no need to be worried about it.
This will not cause any issue.
You need to undergo refraction testing and correction if required.
Otherwise no need to be worried about it.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
