Balakay Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biglou13 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) 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 Edited August 23, 2015 by biglou13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcobean Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
