Aimpoint: a question for the over 50 y.o.a. crowd...
Background: visited the optometrist and made sure to ask, “do I have astigmatism?” He looked at last year’s numbers, said, “in the left eye, very slightly, yeah.” Checked with the instruments this visit, and says “I’m not seeing any astigmatism now, though, in either eye. So no.”
Fast forward: managed to score the last CompM4s at Brownell’s. Just opened it up and installed the battery.
Red dot with both eyes open looks like a dot. Not like a period (.) perfect dot, but a dot. Gets a red halo effect around the dot as I turn up the brightness.
Red dot with right eye open looks like a dot. Lower the brightness the more of a perfect dot it looks.
Red dot with left eye open looks more like a tiny triangle. I need to look through it again and see what changing the brightness, does. Edit: I have had a condition called “lazy eye” in the left eye from birth.
Seeking advice: in my mid-50s now and in good shape overall but wondering about the future. Question: would I be better off switching to non-red dot sights? Asking since the CompM4s is minty new and I could probably get my money out of it and buy an EOTech with it.
Thanks for any input. I am a crossroads with my Aimpoint...
