Phil,
I too have had some problems to overcome and have found some innovative things to try. Glad to see that you didn't give up. Good luck in the future.

Never give up. Everyday you get up on the right side of the grass is a good day.

A few years back I came down with wet macular degeneration in my right eye. I could'nt make out the bullseye at 25 yards. With the help of the Docs at the Maine Eye Center and my refusal to give in to it, I'm still shooting. Don't lay down, get up and fight.
  
Trust in yourself and have faith in God.

I haven't seen a clear front sight for many years now - perhaps I should try some diopters as well. 

Don' give up! N'er give in.

   Friz,  the good think about Bells palsy is it goes away with treatment.

Good solution!  When I was growing up shooting silhouttes there was a logger who mentored us that was blind in his right eye.  He shot right handed and had a offset base built for his left eye to look through the scope.  Not sure how that would work with iron sights but with a scope it worked fine.

Centershot,
My problem is the same as yours, execept my macular is dry. Can't use the right eye but built a set up that allows me to shoot right handed with my left eye. Can't post pictures but would send you, and anyone else, some if they might help.

Bent stocks for using left eye from right-eyed guns go back in to the 1800's. Bit strange, but some people didn't want to change hands - so the stocks were altered.  I've also saw an article in a 70's era Gun Digest (I have them all) that showed a trap shotgun with a rib that leaned way over to the left so the shooter could use his left eye yet hold right handed.

There is a crossover gun in the Royal Armories that was made by Houell of Zella, Germany for the Duke of Brunswick that goes back circa 1715.

A few years ago TOF built a croosover gun for a customer/friend......Weird but beatiful gun... Perhaps he will post some pictures.

My brother had Bells Palsey a few years ago.  His went away after about a month with treatment.  Give 'em $#*!!

That sure sounds promising, Tom.
