Question: What is the method that eye doctors use to determine a person's dominant eye?
My eye doctor did this when I was supposed to wear just one contact lens. It was simple and quick. I just can't remember what it was.

Answers:

It's easy for you to determine yourself.

Make a circle with your thumb and index finger , and hold it about 10 or 12 inches in front of your eyes. Center that circle until you can see an object across the room through it with both eyes open.

Then WITHOUT moving your hand, close one eye, then the other , the one that you still see the image in the circle is your dominant eye. With the other eye, the image will be outside the circle.

Optician



My doctor covered my eye and said to look at something; the letter E and then moved the the cover my left eye I could no longer see the E with my right eye so my left eye is my dominant eye. I had always thought the right would be because I am right handed but that is not correct ;)
