Which is your dominant eye? Your right or your left?

Do you know which eye is your dominant eye? Everyone has one eye that you rely on more than the other. This is the eye that you use for camera's, golf, shooting, certain sports, etc.

Being right or left handed will not necessarily determine if you are right or left eye dominant.

The following method is one of the easiest ways to checking eye dominance for both adults and even very young children. 

• Extend both hands forward of your body and place the hands together making a small triangle (approximately 1/2 to 3/4 inch per side) between your thumbs and the first knuckle.
• With both eyes open, look through the triangle and center something such as a doorknob or the bullseye of a target in the triangle.
• Close your left eye. If the object remains in view, you are right eye dominant. If your hands appear to move off the object and move to the left, then you are left eye dominant.
• To validate the first test, look through the triangle and center the object again with both eyes open.
• Close your right eye. If the object remains in view, you are left eye dominant. If your hands appear to move off the object and move to the right, then you are right eye dominant.

• Most people automatically use their dominant eye when looking through a camera eyehole or a telescope.
