Changing eye dominance

[Lowrider]

I dont' know if this belongs here or under shooting, however my wife and I were discussing eye dominance for some reason a couple of weeks ago and I showed her how to figure which eye was her dominant one. As I expected she was left handed and fortunatley left eye dominant {not that she shoots the bow} and after several tries it always came out the same.  This past week she had catarac surgery on her right eye and now has 20/20 vision in that eye. It was so clear that she started playing around with the eye dominance thing.  Guess what: After several tries and not beliveing what I was seeing, her eye dominance has changed to her right eye.  A long story to say that if anyone has eye surgery, they may need to check out the eye dominance factor, especially if they suddenly are having trouble shooting. Her left eye the one that was not operated on is 20/25 so I guess the one that is 20/20 is taking over if this makes sense.

Z...had this happed about 6-7 years ago.  Astigmatism only in my rt eye.  I didn't notice it and was puzzled why I was shooting bad at low light levels (which elevated the eye dom to the left eye)  been wearing glasses since and don't have it as bad, but still struggle at times.
I've learned to squint (not close) my left eye a little to eleviate the problem.
I'm really, really contimplating lasik surgery as I'm 41 and started this glasses thing 6-7 years ago and hate them!  My first questions to the surgeon w/ be about eye dominance and shooting sports in general.
Good luck guys!

Hay thats good news for me,I am right handed but left eye dominant maybe a little eye surgery can fix that so I can shoot better.

I always thought that eye dominance had to do with the eye that "controls" your hand-eye coordination and had nothing to do with which eye is optically stronger.

My right eye has always been optically stronger than my left eye but I'm still left eye dominant. (although I'm right handed)

I wonder if she wasn't right eyed once upon a time but the cataracts forced her left eye to take over and now that the cataracts are gone her right eye is back in control?

My son shoots right and has left eye dom.I taught him to the Hill way and not to look at the arrow,just the target and trust in his form and he shoots great.
