    I am and I find it very difficult to deal with regarding any long gun and very difficult to fix.
    The majority of people who are opposite eye dominant are not 'severely' so.

    If you have an easy fix, I'd like to hear it. I think you are the first person I've heard to say it's easy to deal with.

    Many will simply learn to shoot left handed, others I've heard said they took a lot of training to deal with it.

    I was at the range last week and a guy had a MP 15/22 with a cheap eotech copy mounted fully forward and low. I couldn't use it with both eyes open. Not sure if it were mounted up higher if it would have been easier.

    As to corrective lenses.... I have those as well but it really doesn't help much.

    As to the severity of the problem, again, I've never heard someone say, hey I just did x,y z and now no more problem.

    If you do have the issue and have fixed it easily you are very lucky. I don't think most can do that...... or at least I can't find them... because I would really like to know how they do it.

    I've been experimenting how to mount a dot or 1x4 scope and it doesn't look promising.

    In fact I wondered why don't the RDS manufacturers make an inverted Y dot........

    Small circle that mounts right behind FSB and co-witnesses with it. then on the inverted legs of the Y are the controls and electronics that actually mount to the 3 and 9 rails.

    - O ---- dot in small ring just behind FSB
    || || -- controls on either side

    That would put everything out front / out of the way and give the largest field of view. For me... it's the closeness of everything that causes the problem. Once I get some distance it's not a problem.

    Mike Pannone describes how he handles his cross-eyed (actually, only one eye) dominance in his SME forum here.

    Maybe that will work for you.
