Are you sure? The left-half of *both* your right and left eyes goes to
the right brain, and the right-half of *both* you left and right eyes
goes to the left brain. Unless you have poor muscular control of your
right eye, or almost neglect your right field of vision, I don't think
you can conclude anything about your brain dominance from that. But I'm
not entirely sure that I'm entirely sure I know what you're saying, nor
that I'm entirely sure what eyedness is.

As for me, I seem to be better at tasks like writing that require fine
control with my right hand, and tasks like scrubbing or opening jars
that require strength with my left hand. (OTOH, I have no idea how I'd
feel about changing gears with my right hand.)
