My apologies for the thread necro. Hopefully my fellow shooters with Astigmatism will get some use from this post.
I am happy to report that the Trijicon MRO gets my Astigmatic seal of approval/hubris. 2A Sales had them available to look through, and for whatever reason the MRO works for me. It is a relief to be able to use a red dot again. It's even usable at close range without my corrective lenses on. It's not perfect even with contacts or glasses, but it's miles better than any other I've tried (even the Aimpoint T2). If I turn it up too bright, it kind of looks like a faint mirror image of an Eye of Horus, but is still very usable. At lower brightness settings it looks almost like what I imagine you normals see.
Obviously every person with Astigmatism is going to perceive red dots differently, so please do not make any purchases bases on my recommendation without looking through it in person at a brick and mortar. Preferably a local one like 2A, who happens to have them for a competitive price.
