PotD: OCULAR DOMINANCE

[Daddy]

i shoot guns

[snoorkel]

that finger thing is also a bad test because i get crossed eye focusing on something (that is i simultaneously see both the left and right eyed views)

that's the point, you close each eye one at a time to see which one unfocuses the least

i was good at shooting guns, but not good with shot guns. i think i was too intimidated by the Shot Gun. haven't done shooting Things in awhile and don't really wanna lol

even when closing one eye

I think my glasses are slightly stronger in the right eye than the left (something like 3.75/4.00, I think), which may or may not be relevant

shooting guns is Fucking Fun. when I went bird hunting once I shot 4 flyin birds real quick and then a dog literally knocked me down and ran me over

even when closing one eye

wat.

[YPrrrr]

I already knew this from when I went shooting... I suck because I am right handed but left-eye dominant. Using my right eye to aim was weird

apparently the recessive eye should have a slightly weaker lens or one's vision could deteriorate more rapidly

usually opticians do the exact opposite and prescribe the weaker eye a stronger lens so vision is identical for both, as in my case, which sounds ideal but leads to worsening vision

I think it works best if you get the hang of it then open both eyes, you have to aim more 'in your head' than with with your eyes a little bit though (like shootin claypdigeons) . but I am right eyed and shot right-handed (as if you could shot any other way)so maybe i don't know

my daddy made me do it :'(

[Kalahari Inkantation]

also this is odd, most people (70%) have the same eyedness as handedness lol

my daddy made me do it :'(

lol should have shot the Parents (like all kids should)

[Mando Pandango]

I already know from when I did archery that I'm right-eye dominant.

wat.

the light from a light source such as the sun gets reflected by the finger into my eye which then gets refracted in a rather strange way from abnormalities in the cornea and lens
