Generally speaking you should switch eyes (dominante to weak) when you switch hands.
I've taken courses at LFI, Sigarms Academy, and Cumberland Tactics (Randy Cain, who also teaches at Gunsite). I'm an NRA Certified Firearms instructor.

I've never heard anyone suggest that you switch eyes when shooting weak hand. At LFI, Ayoob did teach us to cant the pistol about 30 degrees inboard when shooting weak hand. That helps line up the gun with your dominant eye (assuming your dominant eye is the same as your dominant hand, which is true for about 80% of people), and keeps your wrist straight. Thus it helps you handle the recoil better.

I have been experimenting with using my weak eye when shooting around a barricade on my weak side. I'm not sure if I'll continue to do this or not.
