The eye will automatically peep through the center of the aperture without conscious thought. Focus is required only for the front sight and target. The eye looks through the aperture, also sometimes called a peep or ghost ring (because it is blurry), making no attempt to focus on the rear sight. Then as now, the receiver sight offered a simpler and more accurate sight picture compared to standard open sights. I first used a Lyman receiver sight on a Model 94 Winchester about 40 years ago. Lyman has manufactured a wide range of precision aperture sights for as long as I can remember. Peep sights were, in fact, the original product on which the company was founded. They are probably best known for their reloading supplies, reloading manual (in its 47th edition as I write these words) and their aperture sights. The Lyman Company has been around since 1878.
