	Journal of Vision - Eye dominance changes with eye position and image magnification, by Ghose, Banks, & Hillis
		Eye position was manipulated by rotating the arms of the haploscope so that the observer had to turn the eyes to look at the stimuli.
		For example, when the eyes were turned rightward, but the image was larger in the left eye, dominance shifted toward the left eye.
		We conclude that the shift in eye dominance that occurs with viewing direction is caused by both eye position and relative image magnification.

		In either case, the eye that takes over and maintains the sight-line is the dominant eye.
		The dominant eye focuses crisply and does the actual "sighting" through the restricted area of the peep sight, and the other eye "fills in the gaps" in the picture (though not in complete binocular focus).

		Mind's Eye putters automatically make this adjustment for you, so it won't be necessary to make any compensating moves with your stroke.

	The Dart Thrower FAQ - eye dominance
		Then I closed my left eye and the darts where just about everywhere, and I'm standing in the usual right foot forward stance and shoulders in an angle of about 70 - 80 degrees to the board.
		I thought about a reason for this, and I think it's because when I close the left eye I see my hand with the dart and nothing else of the board, so in time it seems my left eye took control when throwing darts subconciously.
		Therefore I would suggest as a solution for you to throw a normal righthand technique, aiming from your left eye, thus having an angle of maybe about 30-45 degrees to the left in your forearm.

	Re: What is 'eye dominance'?
		Paul Armstrong: "Eye Dominance" refers to the eye that the brain "prefers" or one that has stronger "processing" in the brain than the other.
		People usually have one eye that likes to "take over" when binocular vision is impaired, or one eye that is more sensitive to visual descrimination.
		Usually it is recommended that one use the dominant eye to line up the sights for the reason mentioned above, because visual acuity, or discrimination is better, thus resulting in better accuracy.

	Stereogram test for right or left eye dominance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The idea was to create a stereogram with a white disc smack in the middle of it and when I had diverged my eyes to the proper amount, figure out which of the two apparent white discs I saw, or saw more strongly.
		The purpose of the stereogram was to keep my eyes at a fixed divergence long enough to tell which disc I was seeing without them trying to reconverge again.
		With my eyes diverged the two dots would "stereofuse" and I would see a clearly resolved single dot in the middle with two more hazy, not-sure-if-they're-there type dots on either side.

		Students are fully capable of shooting with the "weak" eye, after the strengthening, conditioning and "re-educating," through this training.
		Seminar participants who applied the training and practiced these advanced techniques are now able to shoot without the tape on the lens, the closing of one eye, etc. You will be able to throw these "shooting crutches" away, and shoot with your previous "weak eye."
