I would think that sight would be a primary concern on your choice of shooting right or left handed.  AS far as confort goes we all make changes in form that at first feels very uncomfortable.  I have changed from glove to tab... anchor points... on and on. Change is part of becoming proficient in our craft... change is going from the natural to the un-natural.  That is just my thought.  By the way I'm right handed by nature but left eye dominate and shoot lefty.

Stay shooting lefty, you'll get used to it over time.

I switched from right to left handed after eye surgery - it takes a few months for it to start feeling natural, but as said above, it will.  Stay with it; it'll work out.
Don't meddle in the affairs of dragons; people are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
