Lyman was making something similar but the aperture size wasn't adjustable. They're now producing these:

The Merit is just an aperture isn't it? Is there much improvement over this when my eye is only a couple inches from the rear sight aperture already? Does it work okay with scopes as well?

The Eyepal is easy to find, and available here for half the price of ordering it directly from the US. I'll post here what I think of it when I get it.


Yes, its just an aperture with an adjustable iris. I only use it when shooting with open sights as everything is clear for me when using peep / aperture sights that are up close to the eye. My scope shooting is done with my prescription glasses without any issues so I haven't tried it with the Merit.
