Red dot prism sights

[Robin]

Why a prism? Because I have astigmatism, simple as that. I have the Vortex one, but I'm looking for something a bit more inexpensive, preferable with a 1MOA dot. As always I appreciate peoples thought's and experience's here, positive and negative.

So I google prism sights and of course I get a ton of them, many I know for fact are not 'prism' sights, others I try to find out if they are actual prism sights and the manufacturers do not tell one way or the other. Wasting my time!

Define "inexpensive" there are very few actual prismatic red dot, most prism sights are constructed like scopes, even the 1x ones, and as such have eye reliefs. Also 2MOA is about the smallest dot size you will see with some having a 1.5 MOA dot.
Actually the only prismatic red dots I am specifically aware of are the DI Optics EG1 and FC1

The EG1 is the bigger full size one and has a 1.5 MOA dot and Ibelive it has been discontinued.
I actually own one of each of these optics and I am conflicted about them. Optically they are both fantastic with very clear untinted glass and very crisp dots. The features, battery life and UI are lacking however and the EG1 adjustments are......... odd. I think the directional labeling got reversed or something and the graduations don't seem to be uniform. I am looking to replace both at some point. I currently have the EG1 on my Galil Ace and I am considering replacing it with the Vortex UH-1 holographic sight. The other I am thinking of replacing with a Holosun 515.

Thank you Pod. Those are out of my price range anyway. Not too many true prism 1x sights out there with no eye relief I guess and all those 2-4x have an eye relief and that won't work for my purpose. I'd buy the SIG Romeo 5 which I find listed as a prism when I google but am pretty sure it isn't.
