chuckstur Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 My eyes require all of the corrections know to man and I see a group of small dots instead of a single dot. Single-correction lenses don't help much. Is a low power scope any better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaLarry Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I have the same astigmatism problems. An etched reticle is the only solution like a Vortex Spitfire for 1x. Sent from my reloading bench using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunnar Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I have very minor astigmatism that can be corrected by my glasses. It isn't as fuzzy as some describe, but I don't see fine dots either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckstur Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Exactly the recommendation I was looking for. Thanks C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Yap the Prismatic optics are the way to go with the etched reticle. I have a slight astigmatism and i can correct it with glasses where a dot is clear. The problem for me is I cant get a good sight picture with irons if I have glasses so shoot Irons with no glasses. For a dot, I need glasses or I have a blurry sight picture. This didnt work for 3 gun as I could choose to have a rifle dot thats clear and a blurr for pistol or a good pistol sight picture and a blurr for rifle. Went with the Vortex Spitfire and get clear with both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaunk Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 So this is why my EoTechs look the way they do. I didn't know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan 45 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Here's something to try for all you, like me, with an astigmatism. Put a peep sight behind the dot. Try looking at the dot through the peep. (the smaller the peep, the more it tightens up the edges of the dot.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrswanson1 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Or turn the dial down. Just because your dial goes to 11 doesn't mean it needs to be there all of the time. Yes, I have astigmatism. When I had an Aimpoint, I turned the dial to 5 in the day to prevent blurs/blobbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric4069 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 lasik/PRK was very helpful for my astigmatism only have one ghost image of my aimpoint dot now, before it was multiple. eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarvinPilgrim Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I used to use an eotech on my open shotgun. I don't remember the model but the reticle was a circle with 1 dot above the other (exp-2?). With an astigmatism I would see 2 overlapping circles but for a shotgun sight it didn't affect me much. I've since had Lasik surgery and while the "blurr" got better it did not go away. My burris FF3 still looks like a star instead of a nice round dot.
