Slightly less so standing on my left leg with the left eye open. What is happening there?
    For what it is worth, I shoot equally well with either hand, but, when I shoot right handed, with a pistol, I arrange myself so my left eye does most of the seeing.
    Greys before that try this, Put tissue in the opposite ear while doing it

    All the way around, I am more solid with an ear blocked. I stood on my right leg with my left eye open, blocked the right ear, then the left, and worked my way around. No matter which, I was more solid with an ear blocked than without.

    Thats where the Balance comes from, eyes give out wrong messages, because they dont see the same thing. the lesser eye is usually more short sighted. Over time it causes an imbalance in the Hips, with the Coxxys being your centre of gravity, it throws the mechanism of Balance,thats when all hell brakes loose, with your biomechanics, and the injurys start to happen.

    So, if I understand, I've been lucky that my dominant eye is forward...or do my hips sometimes hurt because I'm nearsighted in my right eye?

    Well really it should be your back Eye, but there are people who do this, not many. which foot do you kick with.

    I kick with my right foot. Now, when I was 12, my sister poked me in my right eye, cut it with her finger nail and I wore a patch for a few weeks, nearly lost sight in that eye. it was only 2 or 3 weeks , but maybe that is why my left eye is dominant?
