Do you know which is your dominant eye? Try this quick test:
Stretch your arms out in front of you, level with your face, and make a small triangle with your hands, as per the photo.
Pick a focal point in front of you (eg: picture on the wall, or whatever), then look through the triangle with both your eyes open.
Now close your left eye. If your target object remains in view, you are right eye dominant. If your hands appear to move off the object and move to the left, you are left eye dominant.

Are you left or right eyed?

I'm right-eye dominant. Is that normal for leftys?
Interesting point. I'm left eye and left foot dominant. I had a look to see what Wikipedia has to say on the matter:
"Ocular dominance, sometimes called eye dominance or eyedness, is the tendency to prefer visual input from one eye to the other. 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. This is because both hemispheres control both eyes, but each one takes charge of a different half of the field of vision, and therefore a different half of both retinas. There is thus no direct analogy between "handedness" and "eyedness" as lateral phenomena."
