I'm going to have Mono-vision done. The examining doc used
the procedure in which I looked at a distant object with both
eyes, followed by my R eye, then my L eye. He determined that I
was RIGHT EYE DOMINANT.
On the other hand, I routinely use my left eye to look thru the
lens of a camera, suggesting to me that I am LEFT EYE
DOMINANT. (I'm a left handed person, by the way.)
In any case, the doc suggested that my right eye was dominant
and that the right eye would be corrected for distance and the
left ("non-dominant") eye would be made myopic. I'm wearing
my monovision contact lenses right now, which I haven't worn
for years and I forget how I used to put them in. I 'think' I am
more comfortable with my right eye for reading and my left eye
for distance. But I hesitate to trust my own judgement in such a
critical decision about which eye to have made myopic. Are left
handed people more likely to have equal eye dominance, or to
even have eyes that switch dominance depending on the task?

We have two articles at our website that may be of interest to you. One describes a method used to determine eye dominance:
http://www.usaeyes.org/faq/subjects/dominant.htm
and the other is about monovision correction:

These detailed articles will suggest that you could be right eye dominant and left handed, and that you would probably be best served by trying monovision with contacts BEFORE monovision with surgery.
