I can relate to what you’re going through and had the same problem about 6 years ago. I went to my eye Doctor and we talked about it and this is what we can up with. I started wearing contacts and I have two sets, i wear in my right eye which is my dominant eye a contact that is like a target and I can see my pins at 30” but I can also see far with as well. In my left eye I wear at contact that give me 20/20 vision. I wear these contacts only for hunting and golfing, this way I can see everything three feet and beyond. For every day use I wear a cheater contact in my left eye so that I can see everything close, and i wear the same contact that I wear in hunting and golfing in my right eye. It might sound crazy but it works.

Yes, it is possible. On active duty, they made me shoot the M-16 left-handed. While the shots grouped better, I did not do well in time because it was awkward. Perhaps if I had trained for it, I could have done better.
Most archery coaches will lean to switch to the dominant eye.

I have not tried it yet because I do not have a left-handed bow ... yet. I think I can do it since I am not timed. My next bow might be a left-handed one.
I see lefty’s for cheap a lot of times if you don’t mind a model that 1-3 years old.

Long term archer age 66. I wear transitional bifocals and can only clean up my sight pins with a verifier in the peep. Target is quite out of focus. Do not have a solution to this aggravating issue! Only want to hunt not a competition shooter. Need a solution or I might have to give it up? I got over my rotator cuff issue and now this arises!!
I use a no peep on my bow that sits out on the riser instead of a peep in the string. It may help you. They have been using red dot scopes on bows for a while too.
