I agree that at close SD distances, hand/gun/point/shooting will save you.
At longer ranges shooting for 'score' or shooting to improve accuracy - you are going to have to make some adjustments.
Possibilities:
Dominant eye issue:
1. Close left eye and use right. Simplest answer.
2. Use a 2 handed grip (with a .40, I hope so.) Just shift the pistol over a bit and use the right hand on the trigger, left eye. Very simple answer.
Vision issue:
I am guessing you use reading glasses and see beyond your reach fine? (I got reading glasses because my arms got too short).
1. Get a set at about half of what your "plus" is in your prescription.
(if you use +1.5 for reading, get a drug store set of +1's or +.75's).
See if you can then focus on your front sight and still get a fairly accurate look at the target.
2. Without reading glasses, learn to focus on your front sight. Slow fire at the range, I'll point the gun below the target, focus on the front sight, then bring it up to center the black.
3. Nothing will work perfect except maybe getting a set of young eyes. (lasik results anyone?)
4. get a red-dot sight.
