Macular Degeneration - what to do about shooting?

the green tends to be better for me than the red
but i am joining in and look for a gold reflector
i know gold lenses on glasses or goggles makes a HUGE difference in clarity
i also use polarized sunglasses, they are big help with the weird glare rings etc

Yes, to the green dot and polarized sunglasses. The polarized glasses are a must for me when driving in the rain.
 
Hi,

Can you post a link on the gold dot I’ve googled it but nothing but red and green show up?

I found this example on the Holosun website.

Holosun HS507C-X3-GD MRS Gold Dot RMR Pistol Optic

RMR footprint optic with gold Multi Reticle System, Solar Failsafe auto brightness, Shake Awake, Lockout Mode, IP67 rating, and 100,000 hr CR1632 battery life.
www.holosun.com www.holosun.com

I haven't looked for any retailers who carry it. I'm going to check all the usual suspects, Midway, Optics Planet, PSA, Sheels, Bownells, Bass Pro, etc.

Here's one example at Palmetto State Armory...



Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

With you there. Had been told about the gold but put on the back burner. After @MiataMinded gave a real account of use in very lighted environments started pulling it toward the front burner ;)

I know it seems a little counter intuitive that a yellow reticle would be easier to see, especially in daylight but I think the magic is in the lens coating. It hits that perfect intersection of being highly visible, crisp and also not blending into the background OR being overwhelmed by it.

At night, they all perform basically identical to me, I can see the red or green or gold just fine against a dark background.
 
So I popped it off my gun and tried taking some pics out the window using my cellphone and I honestly don't think the camera does it justice. It appears much brighter IRL than the camera makes it out to be.

IRL it's super easy to see even in the bright daylight looking at green trees. I think the green of the trees is confusing the camera.

EDIT: This picture sucks and I shouldn't have posted it to support my argument but I'm leaving it up lol

I can see any color but with astigmatism the 3 moa dot becomes a 20 moa starburst. Which is better that not being able to see the sights at all. But I would like to be able to see a 3moa circle instead of seeing minute of elephant starburst.
