when your eyes are bad?

The dot lets you know about where the bullet will hit and even better it serves as a last warning to an intruder.

If you've put the laser on target, the time for "warnings" has long passed.

They likely won't see the laser dot on themselves

All they will see is a bright light where YOU are
 
I don't live in a war zone, nor do I live for the moment when I can plug someone legally. They WILL see the dot and if they decide to leave it's all good to me.
 
I'm 65 and have the same problem. I can see the target, but not the sights.
The crimson trace on my Kimber works real well for me. I say get one.
 
Can you see a large sight like a Big Dot front sight or even a stock Glock
front sight? Can you see a Glock rear sight?

Also, I notice that I can see the G-26 front sight better than a G-17
front sight because it is closer to my eyes. I would look at the Big Dots
on a G-26.
 
I have a laser which I practice with for those moments you can't use your sights for what ever reason. I also have a good set of night sights.That is not your problem tho. With that being said I suggest you figure out a way that you won't knock your glasses off your night stand. If you depend on your laser and for whatever reason it doesn't turn on then it does no good.
 
An XS Big Dot sight is an option for the sight-impaired. The tritium vial surrounded by a wide white circle gun results in a front sight in daylight that is probably about 9 times the area of just the vial, which is likely the size of a normal front sight dot. It would be hard not to notice such a big front sight.

The tritium would be useful in dim light, and the human eye is most sensitive to the color green -- yellowish green in bright light, bluish green in the dark. Thus, green tritium makes sense. In the dark one needs to illuminate the target to see it; thus, a flashlight is essential. I don't like the idea of attaching a light to my pistol -- I don't have a rail, I don't need the additional bulk when I carry, I don't want to give an intruder a bright target to shoot at, and there are many more times that I need to draw a flashlight than I need to draw a gun, and I don't need a pistol barrel attached to my flashlight when I use it in a non-threat situation.

A laser sight would definitely help, but it again gives a bad guy a target and adds bulk.
 
I can relate, I am blind as a bat without my glasses so I make sure to leave them in the same spot on the nightstand every night. I plan to get laser corrective surgery at some point so I don't have to wear them or my contact lenses at all.
