Green Matchdot?

Has anyone tried the Ultradot Matchdot II GREEN?

I only just learned that these exist... UD says backorder..

Have any been delivered or is the "backorder" really a pre-order

Someone posted in TargetTalk in September that they'd received one of the first ones.
States "there are off positions between each brightness setting so should be a little quicker to get back to your setting without having to dial all the way around."

I have one of them. I like it quite a lot. The green at least for me feels less straining on the eye over the course of a trip to the range. I would like them in the 1” variety but all in all very nice. Yes there are off dots in between the brightness settings and that is another nice feature.

Is anyone using one that has Cataracs or astigmatism? If so does it help or do you still see a flare or out of shape dot with one?

Green is easier to see than red, especially for those with 40+ year old eyes. It's one reason that aircraft instrument lighting changed from red a long time ago

I’m 43 with an astigmatism. At certain settings I can see some flair but generally I find it both easier to see and crisper than the red dots. YMMV

I have miopy with atigmatism since 11 years old and is Nice to learn about green dots vs Red dots, hope All ultra dots incluye this green dot variation.

I have both I&II but I've come to prefer the original Matchdot I for repeatability and sureness of adjustment. The Matchdot II model is nice but the advantage over the original is more imagined than real and truly doesn't save a lick if effort.

It's really going to depend person to person. I have a friend who also has the 'tism and green works better for me, but not for him.

I have astigmatism.  I see a figure eight (two dots), on an angle with all of them.

I shot with a Burris FastFire reflex dot for many years.  The dot usually looked like Florida.  I settled on putting Tallahassee in the middle of the black...  Because it varied a bit from day to day, I assumed it was more my eyes than the sight.

I wore hard contact lenses back then, which can correct for some astigmatism.  Nowadays, I mostly wear glasses where they can do a better job of correcting that, and my various dots tend to be rounder.
