Correct me if wrong - but all I have seen - Docter - Holosun - Burris do not

But I reckon they are excellent with the right person for the suited application (close bush/snap shooting

If you need glasses for distance you need to wear those when using a red dot. Not really a problem as you are wise wearing something for eye protection. Optician can also correct for astigmatism which takes care of the starburst effect. I have slight astigmatism myself @Phil_H but so slight it's not worth correcting for. I just use the same area/corner of the astigmatism starburst as my aim.

Wearing glasses and using scopes is a PITA. I have to lift the glasses up to look through, I know you can adjust the focus on the scope but that never worked like I wanted. Now I use an Intermediate Eye Relief scope. Eye relief on these scopes is between a conventional and a scout scope, about 6in. For me they combine the best features of scout and conventional scopes. The downside is that they can be difficult to mount compared to a conventional scope.

I have no problem shooting with glasses on and looking over the top of them with normal Scopes
But I had to change my brand of Scope to ones that had better Diopter +
