I recieved my OKO that i ordered from Night vision mall and immediately noticed the dot was fairly grainy, not crisp and not symmetric. My friend noticed the same thing. The only time the dot looks good is when co-witnessing threw the small peep sight. I cleaned the leanse with lense cloth and cleaner as well as the screen over the projector. Normally the dot is large due to a halo effect and is not just one cluster of asymetrical dots, but also has small arcs off the side of the dot. Is this even half normal? Should i send it back to nightvisionmall for an exchange? Thanks. |

That could be a close description of the OKO I had, though it sounds a bit extreme. Mine did not have a crisp, clear dot (in normal daylight it did, but indoors it looked slightly more like a starcluster, sorta). FWIW, I've yet to see a "red-dot" sight that did have a clear, exact symmetrical dot (including Aimpoints, EOTs, OKO). Is there any way you can post up some good pics through it in both daylight/outdoors and low light/indoors? |

| Sorry to bring back an old thread but I've had a similar problem to those who have never seen a "clear" red dot. If you have an astigmatism, red dots, holosights, etc. will not look clear. It's an unfortunate side affect that the eye doctors don't tell you about. Contact lenses are not enough to correct the astigmatism either. Dot's only look clear to me if I look at them through glasses. |
