Hi all, I was shown this test by a Bate's Method teacher except she said to make the hole as a small triangle by holding both hands up at arms length in front of you, palms facing away, fingers overlapping and the thumbs cross to make the base of the triangle; this way the hole is directly in front of you. You can then play with switching the eye that is dominant.
Another useful Bate's exercise is to hold both index fingers up in front of you. One is at arms length and the other is held up midway between the face and the farther finger. Have both eyes open. While you focus on the farther finger see two images of the nearer finger either side of the farther finger. Now switch focus to the nearer finger and see two images of the farther finger either side of the nearer. Practice switching the focus back and forth and strive to make symmetrical the images of the three fingers you see. The best Bate's exercise though is Palming: cup both hands and place them over the eye sockets. Do not let the palms touch the eyes or lashes. Have the eyes open and exclude all light from between the fingers. See black. Relax the shoulders and stare into the black until your tired eyes feel better. An excellent book about the Bate's method is Aldous Huxley's 'The Art of Seeing'.
