In my quest to learn to shoot an AR, I took an introductory lesson in which the instructor informed me I need to keep both eyes open to properly use the red dot sight. That resulted in seeing double so I finished the lesson using my right eye only, and did the same on a subsequent range visit. I shoot my revolvers with my left eye closed also, including if I am shooting one-handed with the left hand.
While I am planning to visit an ophthalmologist to learn whether there is something wrong with my eyes that will prevent me from shooting with both eyes open, I'm curious to know whether anyone here experienced the same thing and if so whether you were able to overcome it and learn to shoot with both eyes open, and if so, how you did it.
