Fortunately I don't have to deal with it but I understand it can be a huge problem for some. I have more experience with shotgun sports than anything else and I've seen people black out their dominate eye with dots on their glasses so the non-dominate eye takes over. As was pointed out that limits your vision and creates it's own handicap.
If you have very little time with long guns or you are a new shooter, going to your dominate eye side is a no brainer. For old hands it will be difficult but I always encourage people to make the effort. Personally, I've never seen anyone shoot a shotgun well shooting from a non-dominate eye side. I've read that military instructors move people to their dominate eye side in training because it's unusual that a person can qualify shooting from a non-dominate eye side.
Sometimes you have to take two steps back to take three steps forward. It's not a lot of fun.
