Since we're discussing eye dominance may I enquire about a related issue? When one has cataract surgery and lens replacement(s) there are three options for the lens set up, as I understand it. One can have lens for distant vision clarity in both eyes, close up vision clarity lens in both eyes, or one of each. A young lady I know who works at an eye clinic where these surgeries are done says that women get along really well with one of each, but that men, in general, have a much harder time adjusting to that. Obviously, eye dominance has to switch back and forth according to what distance you are viewing, allowing you to use the proper eye for close up and the other eye for distance. But it would seem that one's depth perception would be hurt badly, not having two eyes focusing on an object in order for your brain to "triangulate" and judge the distance.
However, another friend of mine, a man, had this exact set up and said he got used to it in a couple weeks. This would be the ideal way to have it, it seems, if you could be sure your brain could adjust to it. If it couldn't, well that's bad news.
Has anyone here had this procedure done, with different lenses in the left and right eye, and how did it go? Was depth perception negatively affected?
Best, SRH
