Nerves of each eye are wired to both left and right brains. Hence there is no order of processing information based on which field of view it is presented in.

Curious discussion about hemispheric dominance; I never really thought about it. I guess a better term is "lateralization."

That's true, but there is lateralization of the functions of vision. And the speed of processing is the argument that I've heard used by people to describe these visual phenomena.
