I know because I have astigmatism and use contacts when I compete in High Power. It is not necessarily problematic. I worked with my doctor and found a brand that rarely shifted and if they did, were easily corrected with a blink of the eye.. It took a number of tries but it can be done. Periodically I use them in winter biathlon when my eyes are giving me more trouble than normal. Guess what? They work in all weather conditions and won't fog up.
Stokes uses the lens inserts for the rear (hooded) sight on service rifles (M-16 / M-14). The ones for the AR's screw in so the worse that can happen is they unscrew. If they rotate (unscrew), your zero will change. They will also fog up in adverse conditions. If it is raining, they will get water on them eventually. They are good for High Power in normal High Power weather conditions. They are as 'problematic' as any other optical device once they are exposed to anything other than sunshine and dry. I think they are a better bet than contacts for High Power when using a service rifle that has a hooded rear sight but only if the weather is clear.
And your solution or recommendation is?
