Reply to comment by anamariapapagalla in The two retinas are tied/linked together in the brain. Are they tied 1:1, so that each retinal point corresponds to the same retinal point in the other eye? I.e., each retinal point from one eye shares the same binocular neuron with its counterpoint in the other eye? by ch1214ch

How is it when you cover your dominant eye? When I just cover my lazy eye it feels like I am looking from my good eyes side alone. But when I cover my good eye it feels like the image is imposed onto that same side. I've been told by the doctor my brain has allocated more to my dominant eye on the cortex so I guess that makes sense as the bad eye sort of 'complements' the good one.

Huh, never thought of that. Am reading without my glasses rn, with my left eye (and my phone 1 finger length away from my face lol). That just looks "right", when switching to the right eye it's like everything is slightly off and I want to move the phone but every direction is wrong! Weird.
