Occasional double vision

[Balakay]

I am RH-RE dominant. Keep both eyes open. Vision is 20/20 after Lasik. Occasionally, I will get a double image of my front sight. This typically occurs on longer targets. I also notice it during dryfire if I get right up against a white wall. I can correct it by briefly closing my left eye. Is there any downside to a piece translucent Scotch tape or a little Chap-stick on my left lens?

Probably not, give it a try.

answer to op.... ( caution i'm a newb)

no real downside that i'm aware of

some GM shoot one eyed. some taped some chapsticked, some both eyes open

i think i'm faster with both eyes open....

for me.... occasionally squint is enough, no tape no chapstick necessary....

i think with more practice, visual exercises, i may eventually give up the squint

I've just started using the 'frosted scotch tape' method to help train shooting with both eyes open ( a habit I know I MUST develop). It's working very well for me. Give it a try.

Convergance-Divergance...I will say that it might be from the Lasik, or actually before it. Your eyes are tied to your brain(obviously). However, before the surgery your brain tries to compensate for the weakness. Then you get surgery and now you brain doesn't but it will still try. I will say vision therapy is underrated.

Watch your head, try if it helps to have it more upright.
