No need. Yes, the light source is an LED emitter. But that does NOT mean that the light is projected onto the lens on which the reticle is engraved. In fact, I'm going to tell you it's physically impossible because in order for an LED to project a red dot back to your eye its light has to be collimated onto an angled (not perpendicular to scope axial centerline) lens. There isn't a single angled lens inside a magnifying scope sight.
The light from the LED is transmitted via fiber optic rod down the top vertical stadia line to the center of the reticle where a small opening lets you see it as a red dot
Get into a darkened room and turn the intensity to near max. Then look at the top vertical stadia line and you'll see a red glow along its edges. That's the fiber optic rod leaking light out the sides.
Why to you it looks worse than a Vortex I cannot tell. Everyone's eyes are different and your astigmatism isn't the same as mine.
I've never looked into a lit PST or Razor 1-6X but I can tell you for a fact that the red dot in the center of my Steiner looks orders of magnitude better than any reflex sight from Aimpoint, Trijicon, or Holosun (aka Sig Sauer Romeo5) ever did.
