Not counting those with a disability/blind impairment, does anyone else have a "dominant" eye? How do non-impaired people "see" with both eyes?

​

Personally, as a left handed redditor, I mainly look from my left eye. I only use my right eye to expand my peripheral view/blind spot.

​

If that's the case, why do we have two eyes if we mainly use one? Or am I defective?

​

Additionally, it could be because I have a rather big nose but my nose bridge is to the side of my peripheral. Most of the time I ignore it though. Only when I'm conscious/reminded of it do I see it for a few minutes before it goes away.

​

Would like to hear other people's input on this matter.

As a left handed myself, I've heard several stories of my mom remembering her experience as a left-handed person. How her mom approved the administration to enforce this horrendous practice on her. She's now right-handed, but says she definitely remembers writing with her left at a young age.

Has anyone else that went to school during the 60's - 80's experience this as well?

I can't imagine how much unnecessary shame a kid would carry back then for simply being born differently based partially on genetics.
