More than any other subject, Clay Shooting’s ask the experts section gets inundated with questions regarding eye dominance. It is an issue that plagues a large number of shooters around the country, including top shot Steve Lovatt, as well as two members of the editorial team. Yet when the market provides products that claim to correct the problem, they are often viewed with skepticism. To quash any myths and reveal the true eye-dominance correction pioneers, Clay Shooting took some of the market’s more regularly seen products into the field to test their worth.

As we all know, we have a dominant right or left hand; a right or left foot; but likewise we also have a right or left eye. This can also be paired with the vision conditions mentioned above. Eye dominance, like most other vision conditions, can vary in severity. The products on test represented a wide range of solutions, but it is important to also assess the level of eye dominance in a shooter. There are many products that are up to the task of doing this but the Robert Louis Laser Shooter presented a good opportunity to establish why eye dominance products are required. Often you only need to lift the comb by a quarter of an inch to achieve a remarkable transformation. It’s worth experimenting to discover what suits you best. You’ll find rubber comb raisers in different sizes in most good gun shops. The Kay Magic Patches are inconspicuous, adhesive patches for glasses. They are most suitable for amblyopia and intractable diplopia treatment. When I do eye exercises, I use a cloth patch that I can easily put on and take off. One of my exercises is to set a timer for three minutes per eye and follow a pencil with my eye. It is referred to as “eye stretches” and gives me practice at maintaining focus on a moving object. When I’m switching between eyes it is much more convenient with a cloth patch.

Keeping our eyes moist is an essential part of having clear vision. Our eyes need to be lubricated with tears (made up of oil, mucus and water). Being dehydrated can therefore lead to deterioration in our eyesight. The 16mm diameter, which is a bit bigger than other options, took the total focus of my left eye away and I could concentrate on the clay. It has to be in exactly the right position, but with a bit of careful fitting it was fine. It dulled down my eye enough for me to hit both of targets. Take standard eyepro and give them specially-made eyeshields that both correct your vision and protect it.

I agree. With practice you can do this, just train whichever eye you want, or both like I did depending on what I'm shooting if I need to. When we mount our gun and look along the rib with both eyes open, our brains are taking in the full picture, receiving a complete, three-dimensional view and understanding of target speed, angle and distance. Shutting an eye denies that. So "Oakley lens color guide", "ESS lens color guide", etc. There are (usually small) variations between companies. Astigmatism is a third condition which affects the shape of the eye (specifically the cornea) and can result in blurred images in objects that are both near and far away.A patch on safety glasses is okay for shooting trap targets but not for sporting/skeet or FITASC type targets, due to the acute angles thrown up.
