Abstract: When analyzing and synthesizing visual information from both eyes into a three-dimensional image at the visual neural center of the brain, the visual information from the two eyes is not processed equally. There is competition and inhibition between the eyes during this binocular visual process. One eye usually has a larger, weighted contribution to the vision neural network than the contralateral eye, and it is the neural basis of sensory eye dominance. Observers with strong sensory eye dominance (SED) tend to have abnormal binocular vision. Sensory eye dominance can be quantitatively measured in the laboratory using psychophysical methods. It can also be manipulated through refractive correction, occlusion or perception learning. Research progress in sensory eye dominance will provide a new treatment approach for clinical binocular disorders, especially in the fields of amblyopia and laser refractive surgery.
