    I have the same condition, dots always look jacked up to me...I had wanted a TriPower as the etched reticle is crystal clear to me.

    The key is to dial the dot brightness down when possible.

    I preferred EoTechs to Aimpoints for the same reason, for quite a while.

    That said, I had no problem shooting ~1" groups at 50 yards with a T1 (4MOA dot). I'll probably buy an Aimpoint PRO when I get the money to spare.

    It can be distracting, but generally speaking, it's not going to handicap you too much.

    FWIW, the Aimpoint H1 appears kind of distorted to me (i.e. the comma) whereas the EoTech reticle does not. If I flip up my rear site, however, the Aimpoint dot looks like a dot.

    That's when I'm focusing on the reticle/dot. When actually shooting both look and work fine--or maybe I just don't notice the distortion then.

    My eyes were so bad, when I looked EOTech at the gun show screen were all red.
