Everybody’s Guilty: We’re All Criminals Until We Prove Otherwise | By John & Nisha Whitehead
The burden of proof has been reversed. No longer are we presumed innocent. Now we’re presumed guilty unless we can prove our innocence beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. Rarely, are we even given the opportunity to do so.

Sorry to hear that. I'm just entering a phase of blurry vision when reading, and noticed a year ago I had some trouble acquiring my front sights on my Beretta and Walther P99. Worked with a lot of spray chemicals in the younger days, I'm 100% sure some of that got in my eyes on multiple occasions. Already had to ditch all the red dots, but for some reason, EOTech and Holosun are fine as long as I view them properly.

Well could be you got an effect from chemicals now compounded by age. I've had a need for correction most all my life. Sadly, it's just gotten much worse as I age. And I have visual obstructions in my eyes too. So, that doesn't help. All in all, makes for pretty rough open sight use, unless you're talking 10 feet or less, which is mostly point and shoot.
EOs don't seem to work well for me. I've looked at some Holosun models that were better and some not so much.
Also shoot a clarifier peep on my compounds. It helps, but not as much as I'd like. For an "average" bad eye it probably is great.
Right now, the FF4 seems to be my best option. I really like it on a pistol because I can shoot both eyes open. Even though I'm right handed, my left is my dominant eye and also has slightly better vision and fewer obstructions. Turns out a lot of people have "reverse" hand-eye dominance, but I don't think most realize it.
I'd say I'm pretty much the poster child for visual challenges in the shooting sports.

Scored a Leupold 1.5-4 x 20 illum dot. Think I'll put it on the .35 rem and switch the 2.5 fixeds to the 480 lever and my old Rem 141 in .35. Wish the 2.5s had an illum dot too, but glad Leupold still makes those little 1 inch tube fixed powers.
