In further investigating my options for optics on my planned purchase of a Ruger Charger Take Down I found information about red dot optics no working well for people with astigmatism. The dots appear fuzzy, or with commit tails. I really haven't used one, so this is new to me. Is the condition alleviating by your pres ription glasses? Is it less noticed with a smaller MOA dot? Finally, are reticles of a different design better for a person with this eye condition? The two optics I have narrowed my choices to two lighted retical, unlimited eye relief optics. without going to a conventional EER pistol scope (I don't really want to crowd up on a rifle scope, what's the point of the handgun?) The Vortex SPARK II which has a 2MOA red dot, or the Sightmark Ultra Shot Plus that has reticle options of 3MOA dot, circle, crosshair, and combinations of circle and crosshair. Also with the option of red, or green illumination.
I all but made up my mind on the Vortex until I read about the astigmatism complication. Now I'm wondering if the optional crosshair of the Sightmark would be better.
I do wear perscription glasses, so if they help lessen the effect, I might be concerned over nothing.
