I don't know about being able to switch his dominate eye. I know that some people are not strongly one eye dominate (my wife) and can switch eyes. I believe (but don't know) that it is like being ambidextrous (sp) with your hands. If you are strongly one way you can not fight nature. Otherwise, I would be a left handed pitcher on the Astros...they need help.

So, what to do? I have a close friend with the same problem. He stayed righty and closes one eye. He does alright and takes his share of animals, but probabaly not as good as he would have done if he had switched. Switching will be hard and need a strong commitment from your son, but if he can do it....it will be better in the long haul.

I would listen to what he wants to do after explaining all the facts to him. He will be the one doing the work.
