When looking at, say a kaleidoscope, my right eye would see it much better and cancel our what my left eye sees, whereas when looking at it using my left eye, the background overrides the kaleidoscope.

I don’t have anything scientific to back it up, but we do!
I do archery. When we’re figuring out if we give someone a right or left hand bow, it actually doesn’t always mean dominant hand, we focus on dominant eye.
I dunno if I’ll explain this well enough… But if you take both hands, make the pointer fingers and thumbs into a triangle, look through them at an item at least 5 feet away with both eyes.
Then close your left eye. Open and close your right eye. You can switch back and forth a couple times to get a good idea.
The eye where the image moves the *least* from having both eyes open is your dominant eye.
Sometimes we have people who are right handed and left eye dominant, so they shoot lefty. (Then there’s people like my bf who doesn’t have a dominant eye and actually sees double all the time. He’s ambidextrous as well. Nothing like someone coming in to mess everything up, right?)
Have you had your eyes tested recently?
