Eye Dominance Test
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Eye dominance, also known as ocular dominance, refers to the preference of visual input from one eye over the other. This phenomenon is similar to the concept of being right-handed or left-handed, but it pertains to vision. The dominant eye is the one that sends more accurate positional information to the brain, and it tends to guide the visual system more effectively.
The eye dominance test is a simple procedure to determine which eye is dominant. One common method is the Miles test: an individual extends their arms, creating a small triangle their hands and then centers a distant object within the triangle. While keeping both eyes open, the individual alternates closing one eye at a time. The eye that keeps the object centered is the dominant eye.
In sports such as shooting, tennis, and in video games, eye dominance can play a significant role. For shooters, knowing their dominant eye helps in aligning the sights accurately, which is crucial for hitting the target. In tennis, eye dominance can influence how a player judges distance and speed of the ball, affecting their timing and accuracy. Similarly, in video games, especially those that require precise aiming, understanding which eye is dominant can help in positioning oneself for optimal performance. Being aware of eye dominance allows athletes and gamers to better tailor their training and techniques to enhance their performance.

I'm left eye dominant, funny though I'm right-handed and I aim my bow with my right eye.
Oh that’s interesting! I’m the same except I still try to shoot with my left 😂
I'm left eye dominant and am surprised as I'm mainly right handed.
Im the exact opposite
What's weird for me is I'm left eye dominant, but my left eye has worse vision than my right eye.
Me too! And I'm right-handed.
@@CapeCodBelle Also right-handed
I’m right handed, but my left eye is the dominant eye. Also holds true concerning my vision. I have astigmatism and I’m very near sighted. My left eye’s vision is better than my right eye, even after correcting the vision with contacts and glasses!
Want to know your future?
Cataract surgery at an early age, torn and detached retina within a year of the surgery.
Halos will persist but floaters will be gone. High blood pressure will cause eye problems.
But no glasses if you chose the tri focal lenses. I would have but they were too new at the time of my surgery.
Make sure your doctor has little hands. Mine was a small petite woman who is so beautiful it would be a shame to lose my vision never to see her again.
@@bobwoods5017you know bodies are different?
This was such a fun and informative activity
I’m right eye dominant.
PS: this “test” is really cool!
Glad you think so!! Thanks
My favourite doctor
Left eye! Just went to my opthalmologist and she did this exact same procedure/test to make sure I was getting the right multifocale contacts. Thanks Dr Eye Health!
I am right handed, but left eyed
Didn't know this was a thing. All this time I thought my eyes were messed up. 😂
Thank you ! I recently had an eye test for a new glasses prescription and it turned out that now my right eye is dominant, but before it was the left eye. All because of glasses)
Right eye and right handed. My Eye Surgeon checked this before I had cataract surgery recently. Have Toric in Right eye and Apthera in Left eye, No reading glasses now. Just tried this test after my new lens. Right eye dominant.
Are you loving the new vision?
I can’t close my right eye
you are your right eye's dominant human
You can also bring your hands to your face while keeping object in sight. Your hands will go to the dominate eye in order to still see the object
Left eye dominant. I write left-handed, but I'm "mixed-handed". Some things I can easily do with either hand, others I have a clear right or left hand preference. So, not ambidextrous, definitely mixed-handed, though.
I'm right eye dominant and right now, my contacts prescription has my dominant eye over powered for distance and my left eye under powered so that I use it for up close when using my contacts.
Same!
I can't even see the focus point without making the hole triangle smaller
Thank you for sharing real health for our eyes. How we can help/heal our eyes!
I recently became pretty impaired in my left eye due to a retinal detachment so I guess my right eye has no choice but to be dominant 😊
Oh wow! Thats awesome!
I’ve always known to be left eye dominant because of my left side only headaches…this test has very clearly confirmed!! 😂
What does it mean? What's the point of right or left?
What's the importance of knowing which eye is dominant?
We use it for a few things in eye care. Otherwise people use it sports.
Hello sir, I have power in both of the eyes (-2) is it naturally fixable age-16
Are there any implications to being either right or left eye dominant?
Is everyone dominant in one eye, is that normal? or can both eyes be equal
Think mine are same
Is there such thing as being ambidextrous but with eyes? Asking out of pure curiosity. I’m left eye dominant and my pinkie of my left hand was barely visible with my right eye because of my blind spot with that eye lol
Use an eye chart and close one eye at a time, and compare which line you could see the most clearly, and that should determine which eye is the dominant eye
Left eye dominant. I’m right handed, both far and near sighted. I wear glasses and contacts. My contacts (right eye to see closer, left eye to see far) and I also have astigmatism in my left eye. Does any of this make sense??
Yes! Funny enough I am the same way, Right hand dominant and Left Eye dominant. Monovision contact lens correction is a popular option to help see near and far. How is that working for you?
@@DoctorEyeHealth I think it is working quite well. I’ve been using them for about 4yrs. I also have astigmatism in my left eye and I have both type of contacts for my left eye. I feel that the contact for my astigmatism doesn’t look as clear as the one without. Does that make any sense?
This was a fun exercise, i found out my dominant eye is my right eye. But what do i do with this information?
I only focus out of one eye at a time. For close things I take of my glasses & use my right eye. For distance I focus out of my left.
What if neither? I can't see the focus point without both eyes open, it disappears to either side depending on which eye I am closing.
Left eye for me.
Right 👁
This is very interesting, would one eye being more dominant cause binocular vision to appear to shimmer? When looking at lines with both eyes or shadows I see a glimmer or shimmer effect. But when I close each eye it goes away
Hey Dr. Can u make a vedio about retinitis pigmentosa and how we slowdown the progress of it and it's treatment
Am left dominant eye 👀
Nice! Me too
I have a question for you. If you can’t answer I will understand. I had cataract surgery in September 2022. When ophthalmologist inserted the lens in my right eye it collapsed. He inserted another one and left me with scar tissues high pressure in this eye and CME. I was referred to see a retinal specialist and he did surgery to clean my eye and fix the CME in October 2023. This pass month he did a vision field test and now I lost vision in the upper right of my eye and specialist told me that the lens is barely hanging. I told him to take it off and put a new lens in, he said it will be a very big surgery and the chances are not on my side. What could happen next?
Right eye dominant! Left eye has floaters and astigmatism
same!
@@seastarbutterfly twins!! I’m also like 5.00 in right and 6.50 in left.
My vision in left eye appears to be dimmer than right eye ( dominant eye). I also have lattice in my left eye. Could that be the reason for dimmer vision in my left eye.
Right eye here
Can one be both the same ? or is that not physiologically possible ?
That one which can see better. I just close one of my eyes and look which can focus better.
That can work for some people but technically the eye dominance doesn’t always have to be the better seeing eye
The dominant eye is not necessarily the eye that has better vision
Right eye dominant.But I’m curious are there people who don’t have a dominant eye? And how does this work on the?
I'm left handed with right eye dominance
Left eye dominant
What if when you switch eyes the focal point is NOT even in field and I have to move my hands over to find the focal point? Like way over!
Right eye dominant
my right eye is dominant👁️, And one more thing 👇
I could see in total HD with my right eye, but a little astigmatism with the left eye...but with both eyes open... it's full HD.
So I'm confused, do I need to get specs now??
left eye and left handed. not all crisscrossed like so many in the comments. very heavily left eye dominant too. i could tell without even doing this trick. my vision is heavily weighted to my left side, but this was still fun
edit: if you close you dominant eye and line up you hands with the opposite eye, then open your dominant one back up, it kinda makes you go cross eyed 😅
I do most of my work with my left hand but i am right eye dominant even my right eye has worse eyesight .
Left
I'm right handed, and right eye dominated, but my right eye vision is worse than my left. 🤔
That was super cool!!!!! So what does it mean?
Any tips if you can't control one eye to close? Every time I try to close one eye, both close, lol.
I'm right eye dominant
I am left eye dominant
Right eye
What if you can see with both eyes like their switching dominance?
Can I have both? Once it’s left once is right
What if I can't close one eye without my hands ?!
Is it normal to be right handed, but left eye dominant as I am?
And oh yeah you can test it just by holding your finger next to a focus point. Close one of your eye and if your finger moves your open eye is your dominant.
i'm both
Ditto. Left handed physically but right handed to write.
Golf lefty rifle is right.
Use either hand if necessary.
Multi task with ease, and it always drives people insane.
Get bored easily.
it’s nice that they don’t force us lefties to learn to write right handed anymore, but i still ended up doing some things right handed anyway, like play guitar (not many lefty guitars out there, so it was a good choice)
it’s a right handed world tho, we’re just living in it
is it possible to change your dominate eye
why is it different on me. if i use your method im left eye dominant while using my thumb it is right eye dominant?
Mine is still the same result using finger or the triangle method. I think you did it wrong or what
Both
Right. Interesting video
🤔Why am I so confused? 😞😩
What is it called if your eye ambidextrous? Eyembidextrous? Yeah... apparently, I choose which to allow dominance in any given situation.
Right
What if it moved with both eyes?
Left eye but I am right handed
Why is finding out which eye is dominant important? Glasses??
I'm right eye dominant. Although am shortsighted and I wear corrective glasses, and my left eye is a little bit worse than my right eye.
I think I did it wrong, I used the sun as my focus point but now I can't see it. Or anything really
I think 🤔 l have both dominant eyes 👀 l 😅 should try and eyes work save
I couldn't do thetest cus i cant blink with one eye but usually when i look at stuff it is always the left eye cus i see my nose on the right
If you check for distance vision, do the test with your glasses on.
Strange. Spoon is left eye dominant, but right handed. Is there a way to train or strengthen Spoons eyes?
Right, but I'm lefthanded and shoot lefthanded (both bows and firearms)
I’m right eye dominant however have no major dominance which can help when wearing multifocal contact lenses (apparently) My husband is left eye dominant but right handed, his brother is left handed though, so there may have been some strange genes in their family 😂
What does it mean?
My dominant eye is my right eye. Oh, that’s right my left eye is a prosthesis. Makes finding the dominant one very easy.
Right eye dominant hete😊
KIKO HO!!
For English speakers:
TRI-BEAM HA!
It depends how to close , (smaller the triangle) not accurate way
I have a lazy right eye
I'm right dominant😂👁
Im left eyed dominant and the best thing is that im left handed so yeah
Tried it.. 4 miss calls so far in 1 minute
Peoples said "im left eye dominant but im right handed" im left eye dominant. And im left handed
Can anyone know how my black colour eye into icy blue eye naturally and permanent
Let's goooo i am the right onw🙂↕️
I am sight damaged in one eye does that mean my ' good' eye is my dominant eye or does it mean i can no longer tell?
One eye has more neural connections to the visual cortex from birth. Though you can train your non dominant to take on the role of your dominant, it will never be as quite as capable as your dominant
Thank you so much - I really appreciate an answer and someone understanding what I meant ( I couldn't quite figure out how to word it) I now suspect I was right eye dominant.....
is it bad that my dominate eye is also the lazy eye😭
It’s like you’re winking at me 😍
I don't have binocular vision
No the easiest way is handing someone a camera and telling them to take a photo or tell someone to pretend to take a photo with a camera and see what eye they naturally bring it up to ~ ophthalmology tricks ~
Why does this happen
Scarey!
