Find Your Dominant Eye
For the best image quality, wear your Vuzix M400C on the dominant side. Follow these steps to determine your dominant eye:
- Stretch your arms out and form a triangle with your hands.
- Frame an object in the distance with your hands.
- Close one eye at a time and observe the object.
- If the object remains in view when one eye is closed, the open eye is your dominant eye.
