“…In a critical review of the phenomenon of ocular dominance, Mapp, Ono and Barbeito 10 point out that ocular dominance does not correlate with hand‐dominance, and sighting and sensory dominance do not agree, and raise questions on the meaning of ocular dominance and its significance, if any, to visual function. These questions remain unanswered and the issue of poor intra‐individual agreement between ocular dominance tests has been recognised for some time 11 …”

Background: Ocular dominance is the superiority or preference of one eye over the other in terms of sighting, sensory function (for example, visual acuity) or persistence in binocular rivalry. There is poor agreement between sighting and sensory dominance and findings are equivocal on the possible neural basis of ocular dominance and its significance. Thus, there are questions on the meaning and importance of ocular dominance. Despite the lack of clarity in this area, ocular dominance is used clinically, for example, as the basis for decisions on monovision in contact lens wear and on treatment of anomalies of binocular vision. Methods: Sighting dominance and three types of sensory dominance (based on resolution acuity, contrast sensitivity and alignment sensitivity) were compared within individuals, with the main aim of determining whether sensory dominance is consistent across spatial visual functions. Results: Our findings indicate that each type of sensory dominance is insignificant in most individuals and in agreement with previous work that sensory and sighting dominance do not generally agree. Conclusion:These results demonstrate not only that different types of ocular dominance are not in agreement but also that in the normal visual system sensory dominance as measured here is insignificant in most individuals with normal vision.

“…No account is taken of the different types of dominance, nor of the fact that it is uncommon for one eye to be dominant for all types of dominance. This sharing of dominance between the two eyes was shown by Lederer (1970).…”

The reduction or elimination of presbyopic symptoms in contact lens fitting, using the technique of monocular fogging, is reviewed. Tests used in clinical trials during the evaluation of monocular fogging are described and some judgements regarding their relative merits are made. The status of this clinical procedure is considered in relation to Its role in conventional eye care. That is, monocular fogging is contrasted with binocular balancing techniques, and other means used to promote binocular vision (which forms the basis of conventional eye care methods). Factors in binocular coordination which may be considered as sufficient condition to allow the successful application of the technique are discussed. Similarly the nature of binocular vision which appears to preclude the use of a monocular fogging technique is also outlined. January, 1974
