Answer 1

One eye is stronger for almost everyone. When you have both eyes open your dominant eye is doing most of the work.

To determine your dominate eye, make a triangle with both hands, arms straight out in front of you, both eyes open. Center something in that triangle.

Close one eye. If the object in the center is still there, this is your dominant eye. If it isn’t, then your other eye is dominant.

Switch eyes.
