It's easier with a handgun, and somewhat harder with a scoped rifle, but I find that if I make myself relax, the clear focus happens naturally with both eyes open.

My main vision problem is that I have a lot of "floaters" in my right (dominant) eye. That's very pesky when shooting precision rifle, and much less of a problem when shooting handguns.

The first time I ever saw a floater, I was 24 years old and I had no idea what it was, I was on the 600 yard range and as I followed through after a shot, this "worm' crawled across my field of vision. After it did it again after the next shot I abandoned the match and left for my eye doctor in a large hurry. After rousting him out on a Saturday afternoon my doctor couldn't believe that, having worn glasses since I was six, I had never experienced floaters, and made very light of what to me seemed a tragic loss of visual acuity. I have had them ever since and still find them very disturbing.

BTW, When shooting precision rifle I used a special pair of glasses that allowed me to put the lens right where it needed to be in the sight line, and used a blinder over my other eye so I could keep it open without having disturbing ghost images.

Whoa. I just looked up what a floater was on Wikipedia. I've had those a very few times in my life, but always dismissed it as just fuzz on my eye or something. I can probably count on one hand (maybe two) the number of times I can remember that I've seen them. I can only remember seeing them in bright sunlight. It's odd... I've never had eye problems... in fact I have 20/10 vision. It doesn't sound like mine are nearly as severe as yours... they only appear to me as a single very thin filament of squiggly fuzz, usually traveling across the upper region of my vision.
