I did a little test. I held a white envelope in front of my non aiming eye, far enough away that there was light reflected into the eye. While holding it there, and observing the text on my computer screen, I closed the eye, comparing the sharpness of the text to that with both eyes open (envelope in front of one eye). The text was slightly sharper with the eye behind the envelope closed. Evidently the distortion of my aiming eye, that was caused by the slight tightening of the eyelid when I held my non aiming eye shut, slightly improves my visual acuity. From my reading of the article, it seems that the assumption was that the opposite would be true. I learned some things that I did not know from the article…always a good thing. Thank you for including it in the bulletin.
