Hmmm, though I grew up with monocular vision, switching from the right
eye for distance to the left for close viewing, the above demonstration
does not work for me - I see two fingers at all times when looking at a distant subject, so lining "it" up with the distant subject is impossible!
The above should work well with people who do not have binocular vision,
for whatever reason. (BTW, my VF eye is left [and, therefore, the wind-lever
on manual bodies hits my nose when operated], I am right-handed [with strong ambidexterous tendencies...;-], and I have recently converted back to a semblance of monocular vision by choosing bifocal glasses lenses with four focus distances chosen to give me continuous sharp vision from infinity to about one foot [alternating eyes as distance is shifted] with eyes that no longer focus very well.)
Hope This Helps
