A patch on the off eye lens if you cannot make yourself focus on the front sight. Other wise hold the barrel elevated a few degrees and put both eyes on the front sight. Can you focus on it and see it clearly? If you can you can lower the barrel and keeping both eyes open find your sight again but with the strong side eye using the rear sight. Strange at first but when you get used to it your groups will improve.

The problem with one eye is it is an unnatural strain that really shows up after a days worth of competition or a couple of hard shooting hours plinking. The other problem is if you are using one eye you will tend to bull gaze. Your focus will be between the front sight and the target and as a result it looks like you are lined up but you aren't really seeing the sight or the target clearly. No matter how much you shoot you just won't get any better than you already are.
