Default Weak AC Blower only on the Drivers Side

I've search through the forum and alot of the people talk about vacumm problems but only if its blowing out of ALL vents at the same time. I have the Automatic Dual Climate control and the problem i'm having is that the Drivers side and center vents have significantly weak air flow compared to that of the passenger side.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks! I went the cheap route and tried adding one of those cans of R-134a from Autozone and it definitely improved but it was still under par to what I think it should have been. On top of that the gauge was reading I was still under pressure on refridgerant (low side of course). So I added a second can and now on the lowest setting its blowing 43 degrees out of the center vent!

Now I normally dont ever use my AC and usually go with my windows down and have been this way for the past 2 years. Would not using your AC cause your refridgerant to slowly go down? The 2 cans I added had the red dye and I can't see any leaks
