Summary

Eye preference is primarily linked to eyedness, sighting dominance, and stereoscopic vision, not fixation disparity or basic visual acuity. This research clarifies how different eye dominance measures relate to binocular vision functions.

Area of Science:

  • Optometry
  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Eye preference indicates asymmetric eye use but not a single underlying asymmetry.
  • Current assessment methods for eye preference offer limited quantification and scope.
  • There's a need to better understand eye preference within broader binocular vision functions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To differentiate eye preference using standard optometric tests.
  • To validate the relationship between questionnaire-based eyedness and clinical measures.
  • To explore the connection between various binocular vision functions and eye preference.

Main Methods:

  • Compared conventional eyedness questionnaires and sighting tasks with optometric tests in 103 subjects.
  • Assessed visual acuity, accommodation, stereoscopic prevalence, binocular rivalry suppression, and fixation disparity.

  • Utilized the Mallett test for fixation disparity measurement.

    • Main Results:

    • Sighting dominance showed a strong correlation with eyedness (Kendall's tau(b)=0.70).
    • Stereoscopic prevalence correlated significantly with sighting dominance (tau(b)=0.55) and eyedness (tau(b)=0.50).
    • Rivalry dominance also showed a notable association with stereoscopic prevalence (tau(b)=0.28).

    Conclusions:

    • Eye preference is strongly associated with eyedness, sighting dominance, and stereoscopic prevalence.
    • Fixation disparity, accommodation, and visual acuity appear largely unrelated to eye preference.
    • These findings refine the understanding of eye preference and its relation to binocular vision.
