As someone who has had cataracts in both eyes I strongly recommend having an eye doctor treat them as efficiently as possible. Don't procrastinate; there is no benefit to doing that!!!!
Good! Congrats on taking prompt action!My eye doctor told me mine were ready at my last exam. The left one is already gone and the other will leave next week.
I have astigmatism. I have an easier time picking out a red dot on any color background than a green dot.
I figure the color preference will be determined by what the shooter's eyes can see easier. Not sure why astigmatism alone would factor into the color of the dot?
Regarding dots being clear or broken into "grape clusters" or simply just blurry, I've always been able to fix that with a new prescription of glasses. Provided that the dot in the sight hasn't gone weird.
I'm near sighted, far sighted, and have an astigmatism, I prefer red over green on my sights, and greens for my targets especially outdoors. I also shoot best with no correction, sights or targets. I paid a bunch of money to a sports optometrist who only made ****e worse. Considering lazer surgery.

Glad you found a good Dr., doubleh.
So you have anisometropia and astigmatism (by the way, all of you, it is just astigmatism, not "an astigmatism", or "astigmatisms"), but need no correction for shooting?
Glad you found a good Dr., doubleh.
For those getting near that time, do your research; both on Opthalmologists, and IOL's (InterOcular implants), there are many options.
Here's a good place to start:

Do you wear bifocals? That complicates things.Thank you for your response, the attempts to make me glasses have not worked. I can either see the sights or the target, never both. Without glasses both are fuzzy but better than the alternate of poor glasses.Thank you for the link will investigate!
That's generally typical, you generally have to 'sweep' through you optical depth of field,--rear sight, fore sight, target. That is until the targets are very close.I can either see the sights or the target, never both.
Take your sight to your appointment and see if the doc can offer some insight.I have an appointment with my optometrist to get astigmatism correction in my next set of eye glasses.
