Dominant Eye?

[Bolthead]

How do I tell which eye is the dominant one for me? I would think it should make a difference, no?

Had never heard of this before but it is nicely explained here:

makes sense though, don't it?

It's common.

Here's a simple test that works for mot people. Hold your hands in front of you forming a small circle with your fingers. Look at something through the circle and move your hands toward your face keeping the object visible through your fingers. Most people will unconsciously put the circle over their dominant eye.

thanks, although I'm right hand dominant, it seems I'm left eye dominant.

Same here...very left eye dominant. I almost feel like I don't use my right eye lol

I'm also VERY left eye dominant. Which is a good and bad thing for photography. Bad in that it means my nose marks up my lcd every time I take a photo. Good in that I can use .

I've taught myself to shoot with my right eye alot more, especially for sports, where shooting with both eyes open is hugely beneficial.

lol.. I hit my nose! haha

-And must be my right eye because I had to really think about which one I use.. I automatically use my right eye as I finally figured it out haha

I am also right handed and left eye dominant. It's not a problem for me in anything except for sports. Where it hasn't been a problem until now I am shooting volleyball and I REALLY need that other eye!!!

Same thing happens to me. I guess I'll be switching as well, and or both eyes open. Thanks.
