It was the to correct my nearsightedness, and also my reading eye.<br /><br />The amazing thing...over years my eyes improved. Now I wear glasses for driving at night, and the cheap drug store reading glasses for books and computer. I am right handed, and see better out of my right eye.<br /><br />I'm rather clumsy myself.Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941735389982354519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911604654446032587.post-21512111347274592712015-03-12T13:20:50.415-07:002015-03-12T13:20:50.415-07:00I've never heard of any connection between vis...I've never heard of any connection between vision and being right vs left handed. That said, I'm right handed and my right eye is somewhat better than the left, though ;) Because of problems with pains my right shoulder/arm since I've had to learn to do some things with the left hand though. I even learned to write with the left hand after my accident because I could hardly even write my name with the right hand.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911604654446032587.post-76400432609709302232015-03-12T12:33:56.186-07:002015-03-12T12:33:56.186-07:00I think you are most likely correct, particularly ...I think you are most likely correct, particularly as your daughter ia left handed. In the days when I was a child it was not fashionable to be left handed and I am pretty sure my mother insisted I used my right hand as a very small child. This was very common in those days.<br />My son is totally left-orientated. I did my university studies before teaching and included an element on the subject - many children who are cross lateral are late readers and have difficulty.<br />It is also true that these days many more people are left handed. A good way to check your eye dominance is to tear a small hole in a piece of paper and look at a distant object through both eyes and then gradually draw the paper towards your face. It will automatically go to your dominant eye.<br />It is a subject which has always interested me greatly.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.com
