In Digest 283 Allan Griffin writes, in part:

I assure you that closing your "idle" eye is a bad and potentially dangerous 
habit.  It 
is well known that closing one eye strains the working eye.

In addition, closing an eye diminishes a considerable amount of your 
peripheral vision, 
making you less aware of your suroundings and that much more likely to be 
injured by 
them.  Ever seen a photographer get squished on the sidelines?  Not a pretty 
sight...don't 
let it happen to you.
