ocular dominance

ocular dominance Ocular dominance is the tendency for one eye to be used preferentially and function more strongly than the other, especially for sighting or certain motor tasks.

Ocular dominance is the tendency for one eye to be used preferentially and function more strongly than the other, especially for sighting or certain motor tasks. It does not simply mean one eye has better visual sharpness or that one eye is impaired, and it can be influenced by visual experience and growth-related nerve factors.
