Bad eyes.

[Nexstar7]

Good afternoon everybody. I have a springfield, armory saint victor with a 5.5" barrel. It has a red on it and front and rear pop up sites. My front sight has a fiber optic in red.My rear sights have green. My dilemma is my eyes are not great and everything is blurry. Is there a really good set of pop up sites?That will kind of help me with my dilemma. Thanks very much

Im thinking glasses are your answer for the irons or maybe relying on the red dot. I founts the Trijicon dual power RMR (fiber optic and tritium) to cause less blurring than a "lit" red dot. The downside is they arent cheap

When was your last eye exam? Not joking. Proper eyeglasses help a lot.
That rear sight peep should help. I would black out the green on the rear sight. It may distract your eye from naturally focusing on the front sight through the peep.

Hi,

To see my iron sights, sspeyewear.com has the best solution. You can get bifocal lenses on the top, or bottom, or one of each. I put the bifocal on the top lens of my dominant eye. I can see the optics OK without corrective lenses.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Talk to your eye doctor about your situation. Mine put me in a pair of multi-focal contact lenses that have really helped me. also, not sure if this has any bearing, but with my astigmatism I have found that switching to a optic with a green dot set to its smallest diameter has helped.
