Difference between revisions of Ocular dominance

'''Ocular Dominance''' is a naturally occurring phenomenon. One eye is naturally dominant while the other is non dominant. Much the same as hand dominance. This means one eye is usually going to see just a bit better, and improve a bit faster than the other. It is strongly advised to wait until the non dominant eye catches up, before introducing a new reduction. You might help this along with some moderate [[patching]]. Many opticians compensate for this by adding extra correction to the non dominant eye. If your "prescription" has this compensation, then at some point (generally after 2-3 spherical reductions) you will want to work toward [[equalizing]]. Also see [[diopter gap]].
