Think you are uncoordinated? Maybe you are left-eyed!!
I had lunch with an old friend from high school. She was telling me how uncoordinated she always felt at P.E. Later in years when she went to an eye doctor, he toldher she was not using her lead eye!!...

Same with me Chi Chi. But if I sight an object and do not move my head in any way, the object appears nearly in the exact position as before (with both eyes open) and when I close my right eye, yet...

Seabreezy's post on photography was an "eye-opener". I had never before relaized it but I do photography with my left eye, also. When I read her post, I picked up my camera and it went naturally to my...

You are welcome. I thought it was interesting too about the photography. Maybe a whole new world will open up now that I will try using my lead eye.! Who knew!??

Just finished the article in the link. Once again, the left-handed/eyed people get the short end of the stick. When I take a vertical shot, I usually turn the camera clockwise so the shutter button is...

Doing Seabreezy's test, I can see the object only with my right eye no matter which hand I use. Interesting. I'll have to try this on the family tonight.

I also have monvision like ncgrrl and my right eye is the dominant eye. I am right handed at all sports, except shooting a bow. I do use my left hand occasionally, especially when opening tightly...

I hope you all realize that I am right now at a 3D Stereo Photography convention, so all this left/right eye business is terrible relevant. If your non-dominant eye is so weak that you don't actually...

My camera has the viewfinder on the left, so it seems natural to use my left eye, with the camera squarely in front of my face. I've never paid attention to this...is the viewfinder always on the...

In the days of manual 35mm cameras, the film wind lever stuck out behind the right side of the camera, forcing the photographer to use his right eye for the viewfinder. This caused me great difficulty...

This isn't a quack test - it's been around for yonks and for most people is a very very quick and easy way of telling which eye is dominant. I don't know why this doctor talks about making a circle -...

Jocelyn: "is the viewfinder always on the left? If so, do people who are right-eye dominant place the camera so it's off to the side, with the left hand in front of the nose?"All the cameras I've...

Sorry, Kavey, but when I do the pointing thing I get the same as the circle thing: Left hand gives Left eye, Right hand gives Right eye.
View ArticleRe: Think you are uncoordinated? Maybe you are left-eyed!!
If you're sure you're not moving your hand then I suspect that the reason is simply that you actually don't have one eye more dominant than the other. It's rarer but not at all unheard of.
View ArticleRe: Think you are uncoordinated? Maybe you are left-eyed!!
Oh, my left eye is dominant, all right, but I don't have a dominant side of the brain!
View ArticleRe: Think you are uncoordinated? Maybe you are left-eyed!!
How odd - I've come across one person who had the same results as you but he didn't have one dominant eye - this is pretty rare so we were told... Can't imagine why it doesn't work for you! Here's an...

I'm right-handed, but see the thing in the circle with the same right-hand/left-eye or left-hand/right eye as some posters.Because I get so horrifically motion-sick, I was subjected to some pretty...
View ArticleRe: Think you are uncoordinated? Maybe you are left-eyed!!
Wow, Cass - that's difficult. Is it something they can treat? I know this sounds weird but if you wore an eyepatch on one eye for several weeks would that adjust the other eye to be dominant? Maybe it...

Kavey, I'm really okay most of the time, I promise! I was being a little flippant about the headaches, which I get more from allergies/sensitivities or tension than anything else. I wouldn't have even...
