Eye dominance is the preference of one eye over the other for visual tasks such as aiming, sighting, or looking through a microscope. It is important in activities that require depth perception and hand-eye coordination, such as sports, hunting, and shooting. Determining your eye dominance can help you improve your performance in these activities.
There are several ways to check your eye dominance. One simple method is the “hole-in-the-card” test. To do this, make a small hole in a piece of paper or card. Hold the paper or card at arm’s length in front of you, with the hole centered over your nose. Close one eye and look at an object in the distance through the hole. The object should appear to be directly in front of the open eye. Repeat the test with the other eye. The eye that sees the object directly in front of the hole is your dominant eye.
