Red dot with astigmatism

Does anyone know any red dots that don't blur when you have astigmatism?

I've only ever shot irons or scopes but I'd like something like a red dot for an AR.

I don't know if it is true, but I heard the type like the acro are much better for that. It is a different method of creating / projecting the dot, but I haven't bothered to learn the difference or if it is true.

Was talking to a guy at work today that has the same issue. He said he tried an eotech that worked OK but red dots were useless to him, just a blur.

Probably going to go over to the PSA store next week. I'll see if I can look through some and see how bad it is. The eye doctors always said it was just barely enough to correct so any old red dot might work out ok.

I have heard that the prismatic type sights can work better than the reflector sights for people with eye problems.
