Eye Health Question of the Day: Are you left eye dominant? Right eye dominant? Neither? Or both?

[goinhot]

As a shooter, I’m right handed, left eye dominate. When I lineup the sights, everything is fine. But when I’m practicing maneuvering behind cover, and my pistol isn’t directly below my left eye (like normal), I noticed I get double vision, and will see two of my sites, until I either close one or, or move my head and line up the sights under my dominate eye. It’s almost like each eye is sending different pictures to my brain, and my brain is trying to combine them, so I end up with two of everything because both eyes are trying to focus. If that makes semse

That was the one of the best explanations I've ever listened, and I liked it! Thank you Doc.

I am an NRA Instructor and eye dominance is critical to shooting well. Teaching it can be a challenge, especially with children. You presented several variations of the method we usually use. Thanks for the additional options!

If I look far away and put my thumb in front of it my thumb automatically doubles. The same goes for the hand during the triangle.

I was right-eye dominant before I had a detached retina a few years ago. Since my right eye never recovered fully, it would see objects about 20% farther away, giving me a horrible double vision. I've recently been trying to become left-ey dominant and have found that covering my damaged eye for a few hours per day with a patch, my left eye is becoming the dominant one and some of the double vision is slowly improving. I am right handed and have always been right-eye dominant. So far this training has been amazing and I hope it continues to improve. Hope this might be helpful to someone else suffering from the same problem.

Right eye. I just had my yearly examination. It was interesting to find out how my vision has changed/not changed over the year. One of my eyes is 20/15...probably the right. I’m enjoying this channel a lot! I’m a librarian and pretty much on the computer all the time and also switching back and forth between near and far reading for patrons that come in. Keep up the great work! 🙂

[TimmyRayTactical]

Thank you so much for this. I target shoot as a secondary hobby, and have been plagued by terrible groupings. I’ve spent thousands on different pistols, ammunition, classes, you name it. For whatever reason my eyes just didn’t seem to play well with the target.

However, I just watched this video, and found out that I am left eye right hand dominant. Just got back from the range with my 18 year old Walther P99, and ended up tearing away the bullseye.

[salahhatem]

whenever i search for anything about eyes ..you are here with a great video with all the info i want &more in a very direct and simple way...you are amazing doc !

[sheldons]

I am left eye dominant, yet I am right handed. I didn't even know about that but still became a archery champion, a lot of thanks goes to my best friend for his assistance I learning, training and tips.

[BlackBeltGamers]

I tried the triangle, if I focus it's either both are dominant or neither. *shrug*

[mythoughts.....]

For me, making the triangle and pulling it forward made the test more apparent. Playing pool I didn't pay attention to eye dominance. For years, I always looked down the barrel of the cue with my right eye. I recently found I was left eye dominate. Wow, what a difference. I wish Al Gore would have discovered the internet 20 years earlier.

[BastianP-zwob]

I am right eye dominant and I remember that I did that with the triangle as I was a little child, now I an focus better and know on what eye I should rely more on, thank you very much! 💫

[jamesmondok]

This video answered a question or two about my Dominant Eye. I’ve really wonder about this and now I have the answer! Thanks Doctor!!!

[thegoldendoge]

I don’t know if I’m not eye dominant but when ever I do this I can see perfectly no matter what method I use

[tasty.pvppy_]

I’m left handed and left eye dominant! Thank you for this video <3

[gaylecheung]

Don’t need to make a triangle I was one seeing out of my right eye dominant, all my life!

[InnocentOrangeJuice]

As a person who's left eye is dominant I will close my right eye if I have to look in a microscope.
Maybe this can help some of you figure it out.

[Unknownsakyra]

This has helped me with fps games like VALORANT, i focus better with my right eye so i have the weapons on the left on my screen so my crosshair is always aiming where im aiming it at. Thank you for showing this test!

[darrenwright]

I’m also right handed and left eye dominant. I love archery and have never had a problem with sighting at all.
