We all know if we are right-handed or left-handed, but do you know which one of your eyes is dominant? Find your eye dominance in three quick steps.
Step 1: Place your index fingers and thumbs together as if you were about to catch a football. Then slide one hand underneath the other until you have created a hole the size of an egg.
Step 2
Step 2: Focus on a small object about 15-20 feet away from where you are standing. Make sure to look at the designated object with both eyes through the egg-sized hole you have created with your hands.
Step 3
Step 3: Close one eye at a time. When looking with your dominant eye, the object will still be visible in the center of your hands. When looking with the non-dominant eye, the object will no longer be visible and sight will adjust to a new focal point.
There you have it . You have officially tested your eye dominance… so now what? According to About.com, “Monovision, then, involves wearing a contact lens on the non-dominant eye to correct near vision, and a contact lens on the dominant eye (if needed) to correct distance vision. Monovision works because the brain is tricked into thinking that the contact lens is actually a part of the natural eye.”
