Thinking of picking up a Eotech EXPS 2-0. I like the large window circle dot reticle. Reading through the owners manual I came across this: "If you wear bifocals or have astigmatism, you may see a distorted reticle." I wear no line progressive lenses and have very mild astigmatism. I have no problems with any red dots. Anyone here have experience with Eotechs that wear bifocal/progressive glasses?

I have very strong trifocals and a significant astigmatism. My older Eotech works very well for me, other red dots and irons not so much.

Regular scopes work very well so long as they have enough eye relief.

I wear progressive lens bifocals and have astigmatism, I still have an EoTech 512 on a rifle.

I have no issue with seeing the reticle clearly, other than the fact that it will bloom and be pixilated when turned up too high.

I have progressives and my xps2-0 hasn't been an issue with them.

I wear no-line bifocals, even when shooting. The EOTech HWS remains the fastest CQB option IMO. No issues.

I've had a total of 9 eye surgeries due to detached retinas and subsequent cataracts in both eyes.  Before this I had extreme astigmatism but the cataract surgery corrected down to mild, with the need for readers for anything up close with contacts in.  Eotech was and remains the fastest and most effective reflex sight for me. I want to like aimpoints due to the simplicity and rhe battery life, but the dot blooms way too much for my jacket up vision.
