Ocular dominance, sometimes called eye preference or eyedness, [1] is the tendency to prefer visual input from one eye to the other. [2] It is somewhat analogous to the laterality of right- or left-handedness; however, the side of the dominant eye and the dominant hand do not always match. [3]
Binocular rivalry was discovered by Porta. [6] Porta put one book in front of one eye, and another in front of the other. He reported that he could read from one book at a time and that changing from one to the other required withdrawing the "visual virtue" from one eye and moving it to the other.
Other phenomena of binocular vision include utrocular discrimination (the ability to tell which of two eyes has been stimulated by light), [6] eye dominance (the habit of using one eye when aiming something, even if both eyes are open), [7] allelotropia (the averaging of the visual direction of objects viewed by each eye when both eyes are open ...
This plasticity is so strong that if the signals from both eyes are blocked the ocular dominance columns will completely desegregate. [14] Similarly, if one eye is closed ("monocular deprivation"), [3] removed [15] ("enucleation"), or silenced [16] during the sensitive period, the size of the columns corresponding to the removed eye shrink ...
And because of its ambiguity, researchers have deemed it one of the 'weirdest things humans can do with their faces'.
An epicanthic fold or epicanthus [6] is a skin fold of the upper eyelid that covers the inner corner (medial canthus) of the eye. [3] However, variation occurs in the nature of this feature and the possession of "partial epicanthic folds" or "slight epicanthic folds" is noted in the relevant literature.
