So I just got eye glasses and I've noticed that all my shots (since the glasses) are rotated 1-3 degrees to the right. I'm left eyed dominant. Has anyone else experienced this? Do you shoot viewing with your dominant eye, both, or non-dominant?

I only have vision in one eye due to retinal vein occlusion 2 years ago in my left eye. Lucky my right eye is my dominant eye. I haven't noticed if my shots are off. I never thought about it much.

If you move your glasses around a bit, you'll notice that whatever you're looking at moves slightly. I wonder if your glasses aren't sitting perfectly level on your face.

Glasses will often have a "sweet spot" directly in front of the pupil and you may be turning your head a little to the side a little so that you are no longer using the best location and giving some distortion.

This is a common problem for target rifle shooters and many of them will have a pair of glasses made for shooting that have the "sweet spot" positioned to be in front of the pupil when their head is angled for shooting rather than the normal upright position. You should talk to your optomotrist and see what they can do for you.
