Most everyone's eyes will automatically adapt. I have an usual amount of diversion, which I've known about since my first Flight Medical. It can be a pain, landing on a narrow runway, but you learn to adjust.

In putting, it's typically more of a problem if your "cross-dominant" (left-handed, but right eye dominant). About 70% of the population is right-eye dominant and 90% of the world is right-handed. If you fall between the gaps, it might help to change ball position when putting.

For anyone who has a high amount of diversion in one eye, you might try this experiment. Drive an automobile with automatic steering and pay attention to what you see, when your auto-drive puts you in the middle of the travel lane (in the middle of the white markings). You might be shocked at how far off you are, when driving manually.
