I am sorta remiss to post this here but yet I don’t think it is a GD topic nor exactly a Health one.
For whatever reason, if I look through an Aimpoint for more than a minute I get vertigo. Like it seems like the background is kinda pulling back. Like imagine running really hard and stopping and like how it feels like the background is kinda “panning out”. Like that. Kinda.
The only other thing that makes me feel similar is certain brand of electronic microscopes.
It doesn’t ‘hurt’ as it just makes me a little queasy.
I have no idea why me and why just Aimpoint.
I have a bit of astigmatism but I don’t know if that is it. I’ve had a TBI but so have lots of people.
I have absolutely nothing against Aimpoint so it’s not fanboyism.
Is anyone else like this? Any thoughts? The lenses? Like it’s not even me jamming one up against my eye or even too far away.
I’m not even trying to be weird. The more I discuss this with others the more I want to hope that it’s not just me and that there is a scientific reason here.
ETA cursory search brings this up

So I dunno how far that goes or why it is (for me) Aimpoint dependent. Whenever I don’t wear my reading glasses I wear my Oakleys or my amber shooters. I don’t really fully close my off eye when using a normal scope as I just sorta squint sorta.
