I don't know.  I have a dominant left eye.  An easy test for this is to hold
up one finger while looking at some moderately distant scene.  Alternately
close one eye and then the other, and see which causes the scene to change
from the two eyed view.  Closing the dominant eye will cause the scene to
change.

Yet I still enjoy stereo views, and always have.
