My go to AR-15 has had a EOtech on it for many years. My number 2 AR and my MP5 have AimPoints. These are all great optics... When I have my glasses on.
Without my glasses my EOtech reticle looks like the eye of sauron from the LOTR movies. The AimPoints are a bit better as red star bursts. I can aim with the center of the star burst and get decent accuracy.
But I want something I can use without this distortion without my glasses. I have read that etched reticles are the way to go. The ACOG 1.5 x 24mm prism optic seems promising. Not crazy about tritium tubes that will go dead in 5 years though.
What good optics are out there for people with astigmatism? I am not afraid to spend good money on good glass so I'm not looking for bottom of the barrel suggestions.
