I'd love to have my optician make me lenses with prism, but unfortunately that is way too expensive for a student for short time period of use. Strabismus doctor told me that I shouldn't need any prism corrections after that surgery. Fresnel definitely felt foggy and confusing for a couple of first days, but now when I've got used to it it's not actually that bad.

Just so if anyone else is having similar difficulties, I got this figured out. My optician sent me to a regular doctor, who sent me to a strabismus specialist, who found out that I got a massive amount of hidden strabismus, which shows up when I'm tired or bring something in front of my another eye (Red Dot). Now for a few months I'm wearing Fresnel's film attached to my eyeglasses left lens, which refracts everything in an angle to my left eye, so it can stay in it's natural position. In a few months I have a control visit where they look If I need even more correction and finally some time during next summer I'm gonna have an eye surgery where they loose outside muscle that moves an eyeball and tightens the inner one. If it were a smaller amount of strabismus it could be corrected with proper eyeglasses. Now already with this Fresnel's film I can see targets as one. Can't really tell you guys how happy I am!

Looks like link doesn't work when opened in mobile mode, with desktop it works fine. I couldn't even find that same page from mobile mode.

There: exercise No. 2, that I can't do correctly. http://www.aimpoint.com/handling/improve-your-shooting/

I don't know the names of those tests, there were two. First was so that there were three lines on the wall. I watched them through some kind of machine, my left eye saw only two of the lowest and my right eye saw two of the highest, and I should have seen all three at the same time, couldn't see them. I saw two lowest and third line was blurry and not in correct height. Second test was looking at sets of three rings while wearing some gray glasses, one of those rings in each sets should have "jumped" up, couldn't see that... Anyhow I tried dry firing card board in front of my dot lens and I'm capable to see that dot on top of the target, but it's in a bit wrong spot, to the right always. I took that piece of cardboard off and aimed the same way as I did with cardboard assembled, now I saw two A letters of targets A-zone. This got my optician thinking I could have some minor strabismus that could be causing this problem. So I have full eye examination booked for next friday. Hopefully I will know better after that.

Hello all, The situation now is that I've been shooting open class for a year and I've done fairly well, but recently I started really look in to how I use that red dot sight, and I've been using it wrong. Tried the right way, but couldn't do it right, started searching and ended up at stereoscopic vision tests at local eye specialist. Results were according to couple of tests that I completely lack stereoscopic vision, so I can't use that red dot like it is supposed to be used. I've been shooting both eyes open, but looking through the lens with right eye and left eye is pretty much doing nothing. (used iron sights the same way for years) So if I tape a piece of a cardboard in front of the lens I see the dot and cardboard, no target. When I try (with cardboard on lens) "looking the target with both eyes" I see the dot on target, but it's not at the same spot where the barrel is really going, it's always a bit right. I was told, this is cause of the lack of stereoscopic vision, and can't be fixed. Anyhow according to my optician there must be some kind of stereoscopic vision in progress because I can see the dot on top of the target even though there is piece of a cardboard in front of red dot lens. Could there be possibility to train my self to use that red dot like it is supposed to be used (feels really difficult at the moment), or is this really a thing that we can't teach our brains to do? Also is stereoscopic vision needed the same way when using iron sights as they are with red dot? Thank you for reading and I would really appreciate if you could share your thoughts and knowledge.
