My right eye was always my dominant eye, but since starting HRT it seem to change almost daily.  Should I look into this at my next DR appointment, or is it normal on HRT?

For those who don't know which eye is dominant:
Take a piece of paper, poke a pencil sized hole in it as close to the middle as possible.  Find a single point like the point where four large tiles comes together or a dot on a wall.  Look through the whole with both eyes opened.  Close each eye in turn, the eye that has the least shift away from that point is the dominant eye.  Alternately you may look through the hole at a person with both eyes open and thee paper at arms length away from you, and have them tell you which eye the whole is closest to from their perspective.

Dominant eye is something I am very aware of because it's important in shot gun shooting. I am around competition shooters and for almost all the dominant eye matches the handness so it doesn't seem to be a gender related issue. Could you be somewhat ambidextrous? If not, it might be interesting for the doctor to know but it shouldn't be harmful unless you do something where the dominant eye is important.

I'm curious about it. I'm ambidextrous and my left eye has slowly been going blind since before HRT. When I get the surgery to correct it things will become interesting!

April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

  Dominate eye I haven't really given it any thought. I imagine that HRT could play some part in it though as hormones and HRT can  have an effect on the eyes. Ones such effect is the estrogen can be a factor in Dry Eye problems. I believe hormones or more accurately hormonal imbalance can have other effects as well.

  Personally I'm not so much concerned with which eye is dominate as I am with slowly going blind.

  Dominate eye, interesting. I'll have to try that "hole trick" with my eye grid. Maybe knowing will help with my clay pigeon hit percentage.

  Hugs,

I learned I was right eye dominant when I started to wear eye makeup. lol 
When I go to work on the left eye, if my hand gets in the way of my right eye's line of sight it takes a moment or two to focus with my left eye on the task at hand. ;)  If the opposite happens, no problem...my left eye isn't looking anyway!
Some people say I'm apathetic, but I don't care.

  Hmmmm ..  based on that criteria I just might be left eye dominate. That or I am just terrible at artwork. (Making me look good takes a work of art)  LOL

I like to play with bows and arrows, but it isn't necessary for my job.  Just something I've noticed as I toy with it as something to do while sitting on the pot.
