Which eye do you use more? To test which you favor, hold a finger up at arm's length. With both eyes open, look past it at a distant object. Now close your right eye. If your finger appears to jump to the right, then you use your right eye more. Check with friends who are both left-handed and right-handed. Is there a correlation between dominant eye and dominant hand?
Why is vision sharpest when the pupils of the eye are very small?
What are the receptors in the back of the eye which detect only in black and white? What are the receptors in the back of the eye which detect color? What are the three colors in which the second type of receptors detect?
