For anyone wondering how this "eye switching" turned out, well...
The same thing happened to my left eye within about six weeks. Seemed pretty
unlikely to me, I wouldn't have though eyes were this symmetrical, but the
opthalmologist says statistics show a 60% incidence of this occurring to the
other eye within a year.
So far there's rather more debris in the left eye, so I'm back to the right
eye for photography. And whether the debris there has cleared a fair bit or
the brain has tuned it out I don't know, but it seems quite normal now.
