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 ]

In current practice, the images are ...
