It only appears to because more people are both right-handed and right-eyed. On the other hand, if both parents are left-eyed, or one R one L, the offspring are more likely to be left-eyed. Rarely are they left-eyed if both parents are right-eyed. Simply put, yes, there is a genetic factor in ocular dominance.EyeDochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406602265159523372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468009259346127020.post-72170943926198378772008-09-17T11:19:00.000-04:002008-09-17T11:19:00.000-04:00lol!

My father was one of those lefties who was forced to use his right hand, but it was done at home. <BR/><BR/>It makes me wonder whether there is also some genetic component to those of us who are right-handed & left-eyed.cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468009259346127020.post-51820713681088318152008-09-16T09:36:00.000-04:002008-09-16T09:36:00.000-04:00In the parochial schools in the old days, the Cath...In the parochial schools in the old days, the Catholic nuns would force left-handed pupils to use their right hands - or risk punishment.

Indeed, that's one of the best ways of determining ocular dominance. <BR/><BR/>The dominant eye seems to see the same object as being larger than the other eye. This may explain why long-range shooting (e.g., at 300 yards or longer) is best done sighting with the dominant eye. For a left-eyed, right-handed person, it may be necessary to use a left-handed rifle, for example.EyeDochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406602265159523372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468009259346127020.post-78930016182372105932008-09-13T16:27:00.000-04:002008-09-13T16:27:00.000-04:00Fascinating!Fascinating!Martin MYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13713913200192088210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468009259346127020.post-56441097269387541022008-09-13T12:18:00.000-04:002008-09-13T12:18:00.000-04:00Hi,I'm right-handed, but left eyed.I only found th...Hi,<BR/><BR/>I'm right-handed, but left eyed.<BR/>I only found this when I was in the army.<BR/>For those who don't know how to check this, it's quite simple.<BR/>Stretch your arms and forming a hole with your hands, point to an object with both eyes openned.<BR/>The close one of the eyes and check if you're still seeing the object.<BR/>If yes, then that's your dominant eye, if not, then it's the other.<BR/>In my case, it's my left eye that keeps seing the object.<BR/><BR/>Kind regards,<BR/><BR/>JoséJosé Carrilho (Go Detail)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08965916774046623372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468009259346127020.post-20564395531603756422008-09-05T13:05:00.000-04:002008-09-05T13:05:00.000-04:00That is indeed very lucky.

Of course there is a slight trade-off in stereopsis. Airline pilots cannot have monovision, for example.EyeDochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406602265159523372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468009259346127020.post-77370733376916762792008-09-04T11:00:00.000-04:002008-09-04T11:00:00.000-04:00Interesting mythology and interesting pictures!The...Interesting mythology and interesting pictures!<BR/>The mixture of mythology and eye science probably is very unique in academic articles, right?<BR/>I am lucky that I don't need to wear bifocal glasses probably because of the dominant eye phenomena.
