Preferred Label : Ocular dominance;
Type : Other, mainly phenotypes with suspected mendelian basis;
Description : About 97% of persons with normal vision have a sighting-dominant eye. About 65% show
right-eye preference and 35% left-eye preference. Zoccolotti (1978) confirmed the
finding of Merrill (1957), namely, fewer left-eye dominant persons among the children
from R x R matings than among children from R x L or L x L matings. Neither R nor
L is apparently strictly recessive because offspring of the other type were observed
from both R x R and L x L matings. *FIELD* RF 1. Merrill, D. J.: Dominance of eye
