Eyes? Here's a different suggestion. Lone Wolf can put a reflex sight on your Shield. (Forget about rear and front sight) You'll be able to see the red dot in the reticle with not problem. Where the red dot is that's where the bullet hits!
I sent my slide to Lone Wolf and also bought from them ($349) the Shield RMS sight. Its on constantly so is always there and the battery last 2__3 years. Figure $89 to mill your Shield's slide.
I've had the Burris FF3 (great sight) and a Romeo 1 on my P320.
Hands down, the Shield RMS is my most favorite red dot sight.
I've found my Shield with the red dot sight causes no additional printing and is my EDC.
I was on a site a few weeks back (A group of us cops was chatting about these red dot sights on sidearms.) The one felt within five years most front line gun makers will be offering handguns with red dot sights. (Other than Sig Sauer and Smith & Wesson's present $$$ special ones)
After some thought I feel he may have been right. These things make an expert out of anyone!
There'll be nay-sayers but there was nay-sayers regarding those "plastic" pistols early on too.
Stay safe.
