Dextrocularity

/ˌdɛkstroʊˈkjuːlərɪti/ noun

Definition

The condition of being right-eyed, where the right eye is the dominant or stronger eye.

Etymology

From Latin dexter 'right' and ocularis 'of the eye,' combined with -ity suffix. The term emerged in 19th-century optometry to describe eye dominance patterns parallel to handedness.

Kelly Says

Just like most people are right-handed, most are also right-eyed—your dominant eye is the one your brain trusts more for aiming and focusing, which is why shooters and archers need to know their eye dominance!
