Interesting one this, I have always used my left eye. Then I started operating video cameras, and that has to be done (for all intents and purposes) with the right eye (when shooting handheld), and so I use the right eye for TV work. But I still use the left eye for stills. I'm looking down the viewfinder for a couple of hours a day, and after 15 years my right eye is definitely weaker than the left. I use the left whenever on the tripod, to try to balance things out. I go to the optician once a year and so far no problems. I just hope it can hold out for another 20 years or so......
