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.
