I'm right handed and sight with my dominant left eye right above the cue.
What really makes me play better is the act of turning my head and body to favour my dominant left eye while finding and focussing on the contact point on the object ball while standing up behind the shot,
the contact point not just the object ball itself.
This makes me stand up behind the shot already in my natural boxer stance position (left foot in front of right foot) so I just step forward without twisting as I go down and the line of aim is therefore always under my natural sighting eye. The contact point stays in my short term memory so is therefore easy to find again after I have focussed on the cue ball and addresse the tip of my cue to it. If you just look at the object ball while standing up behind the shot you'll end up looking for the contact point when you're down in your stance but positioned very slightly in the wrong place and very slightly means missing by a wide margin.
So as not to mess about with dominant eye theory just stand up behind the shot in your natural stance position and see if that improves your accuracy, if it doesn't then that's just another thing to forget about.
