Handedness and eye-dominance: Explaining the association

Although handedness has been much investigated by neuropsychologists, there has been little interest in recent years in eye dominance, or eyedness, with about two-thirds of the population being right-eye dominant (''sighting dominance'') and one-third left-eye dominant. Although the relationship between handedness and eyed ness was particularly investigated in the 1920s and 1930s, with particular emphasis being placed on crossed eye-hand dominance as an explanation of reading difficulties, there has been little interest in the association in recent decades.
