Claim:
1. A method for determining the dominant eye of an individual, comprising the following steps: positioning the individual in front of an apparatus designed to acquire at least one frontal image of said individual, then to process said image and lastly to reconstruct information allowing the individual to ascertain their dominant eye; viewing, by means of a sighting device equipped with an optical window, a target that is identifiable and discernible relative to the apparatus, this viewing being carried out through said window and with both eyes open, the dimensions of said window being such that they do not allow the individual to see said target with both eyes at the same time; acquiring, using the apparatus, at least one image, or at least a first and second image, wherein said at least one image, or together, said at least first and second image, provide imaging of at least the position of the two eyes of the individual and of the optical window to be seen; calculationally processing said at least one image, or said at least a first and second image, the calculations taking into account the position of a central point located between the two eyes of the individual, the position of the target and the position of the window; and reconstructing, using the apparatus, the information indicating the dominant eye of the individual, said information being derived from the calculational processing.
