Shooter's Magic Eye Dots
$18.95
Product Details
Why do many shooters close one eye?
They do it to overcome double vision, ghost images or cross-eye dominance - all of which can lead to serious accuracy problems.
Many shooters are affected by cross-eye dominance in which the dominant eye is opposite to the shooting hand, eg. strong shooting hand is right side, but dominant eye is left side. The purpose of the Magic Eye Dot, when applied to the lens of the shooting glasses over the non-shooting eye, is to subtly prevent the eye from focusing, while maintaining depth perception and peripheral vision.
Dot diameter: 20mm
In package: One sheet of 20 colored dots, 4 grey dots and 2 grey rectangular strips - see product image.
Made in the USA!
Application:
Standing in front of a mirror, put your shooting glasses on and look straight ahead. Simply place a dot on your lens, to cover your iris and pupil area. If your right hand is your strong shooting hand, you will place the dot on your left lens, and vice versa. If you are cross-dominant, place the dot on the non-shooting eye. ie. right handed and left-eye dominant, place dot on left lens to force a switched focus to your right eye (shooting eye).
Several color dots are included, to get as close a match as possible to your lens color.
The dots are thin, sticky vinyl that can be lifted off the lens and moved or reused. If this is done multiple times, the edges of the sticker will start to crease. But it's definitely possible to move/re-use/re-position.
TIP: If you would rather have your dot on the inside of your lens, go through the steps above using a dot in a color you will not need. Once you have that dot in the correct position on the outside of the lens, remove the glasses, place the correct dot color at the same spot on the inside, and remove the outside dot. Test to fine-tune placement, to ensure your vision is slightly fuzzy in the non-shooting eye.
Which is your dominant eye? Here’s a simple test:
Extend your hands in front of your face. Place them together to form a small, triangular opening with your thumbs at the bottom. Using both eyes, look through the opening and focus on a distant object. Maintain your focus on that distant object. Now close one eye. If the object disappears from the opening, your closed eye is dominant. If it remains, your open eye is dominant.

Works as expected, relived my cross eye dominance while 2 eye shooting. Works better than tape because you can still get some view through the dot. More elegant looking as well.

I never received my order!
Very dissatisfied

Never really noticed my dual eye dominance until I recently bought a shotgun. These little dots do the trick of occluding my non preferred eye and I still get great peripheral coverage. I’ll buy more in the future!
E
Great product easily and cheaply results in immediate reversal of eye dominance to allow both eyes to remain open while shooting shotgun.
C
This product did not work for me but I'm sure it helps other shooters. Just thought I'd give it a try.

I have Decot HY-WID prescription shooting glasses with 3 different colors of lenses. I was able to match each color perfectly. Have only used them once so far, but very satisfied with my purchase.
J
Work great
T
I have a strong cross dominance and tried the dots for the first time today. The results were amazing. Score greatly improved. I was going to give it a four due to cost but so far the improvement was worth it.
J
what I like if you are a little careful with your lens cleaning, the dot will stay in place. Just used mine first time in a hot, sweaty shoot. even though the glasses got sweaty, the dot stuck in place fine. Does seem to help with dominance issue. good product.
B
these dot's are fantastic , easy to use and no more ghosting of the barrel from my left eye
A
A nice variety of colors. Easy to use. Does the trick to block my dominant eye.
M
The dots arrived in my mail box practically the next day.
Price was great, same amount I bought them for 5+ years ago.
They are not easy to find anymore. Great on Pilla shooting lenses.
D
Product works for me, but don't understand why the cost is so high. Will probably create our own DOTS using Scotch tape which also works fine. Giving 3 stars due to the cost for how many dots you get.
J
Shooting coach recommended this.
Googled it and bought it from first sight.
Later found it slightly less expensive and with free shipping..
Prob will not buy again

I was suffering severe fatigue from shutting my left eye (which I have done for forty years) and after long matches was driving home bleary eyed. Received these a few weeks ago, trained daily to get used to keeping both eyes open yet sighting solely through my right eye, and shot a five hour match yesterday with zero eye fatigue. While you will have to overcome your brain wanting to revert to shutting the other eye or switching back and forth just pile on the reps during dry fire and range training and you'll overcome this. Sheet had dots that perfectly matched the various lenses I have on my shooting glasses and unless you really look hard you don't notice them. Order was received promptly.
D
The dots are just as advertised. Ordering and tracking was made simple. Looking forward to using the dots.

Worked for me
M
These dots are great to train focusing with your dominant eye.
S
These didn't work for me, but they may be great for someone else with cross-dominant vision. They are easy to use.
A
Just what I was lookimg for

I have a dominate left eye and I shoot my shotgun left handed. I still have "double vision" when looking at the target. When I close my right eye and zone in on the clay I am very accurate. If I have both eyes open (even though I am dominate left eye and shot left) I see both the top of the gun barrel and the right side of the gun barrel in my "ghost vision." Do you have any customers that have this problem even though their dominate eye and shooting side are the same? Thank for your help. Mike Hrabonz
Yes, this is very common as it takes a long time to train the eyes to remove the focus from the non-dominant side. Place the dot on the right side and it should definitely help.
C
How do these apply? Static? Looking for dots that may be removed easily and possibly reused
The Magic Eye Dots are sticky and they are thin vinyl that can be easily lifted and moved or reused. However, if this is done multiple times, the edges of the sticker will start to crumple, but they definitely allow for a couple of moves and re-uses.

Hi!
Just wondering if you would post to Australia?
I have used the opaque 'magic dot' for quite a while but need some new ones for new shooting glasses.
Can not find anyone in Australia that stocks these.
Thanks.

All website items can be shipped except firearms and items restricted by United States International Traffic in Arms Regulations (these restricted items will be clearly marked as such on the product page). In addition, we cannot ship long gun cases, as the packaging required for these items exceeds the package dimension limits allowed for international shipping.
