Not the scientific answer you seek but: I have a lazy eye that sits at about +6 I don't know if that is when it is focussed to the max or when relaxed. But I notice when I cover my good eye, objects are a lot smaller. So it can't have a one to one ratio with my good eye.

To add on to this data point my color perception for right and left eyes are slight different, particularly around red hues. So there isn’t 1:1 overlap between same retinal points

Also the eye has a different perspective and you nose it always visible, you brain does a lot of filtering and selecting of what you see. The fact that everyone has a dominant eye means that the brain picks and chooses what information it needs, and does not rely on a 1 to 1

I'm around -10 but more near sighted in one eye and more astigmatic in the other, plus they don't focus at the same height. My glasses fix the problem, but without them (or when I need new ones) I have to close one eye to be able to see just one image

How is it when you cover your dominant eye? When I just cover my lazy eye it feels like I am looking from my good eyes side alone. But when I cover my good eye it feels like the image is imposed onto that same side. I've been told by the doctor my brain has allocated more to my dominant eye on the cortex so I guess that makes sense as the bad eye sort of 'complements' the good one.

Huh, never thought of that. Am reading without my glasses rn, with my left eye (and my phone 1 finger length away from my face lol). That just looks "right", when switching to the right eye it's like everything is slightly off and I want to move the phone but every direction is wrong! Weird.
