I just use the same area/corner of the astigmatism starburst as my aim.

But I cant line up with glasses on
With scopes - I always are looking over my glasses

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 +
