Frequently Asked Questions

Why do some people see blurry red dot sights?

Many people, estimated at 33%, experience blurry red dot sights due to undiagnosed astigmatism. This condition causes light to focus unevenly, making the illuminated dot appear distorted or starburst-like instead of a crisp point.

What is a prism optic and how does it help with astigmatism?

A prism optic uses an internal prism to project the reticle. Unlike red dots, the reticle is etched directly onto glass and illuminated, meaning it remains sharp and clear even for shooters with astigmatism, as it doesn't rely solely on projected light.

What is the Gideon Advocate prism sight?

The Gideon Advocate is a prism sight recommended for shooters experiencing blurriness with traditional red dots. It features an etched, illuminated reticle designed for clarity and is compatible with Picatinny rails, suitable for various firearms.

What are the benefits of an etched reticle in a prism sight?

An etched reticle provides a permanent aiming point that is visible even if the illumination fails. Crucially for those with astigmatism, it offers a sharp, well-defined sight picture that doesn't blur or distort like projected red dots can.
