I started hunting with revolvers almost 30 years ago. My eyes started going bad in my early teens, and have been on a downward spiral since. Iron sights aren’t my friend, but it really doesn’t matter whether I use a 10” barrel or a 1 7/8” barrel, iron sights suck for me.
Red dots and scopes - life is grand (tolerating the bug splatter shape of my red dots, naturally).
Sorry for you eye problems. I never had to deal with any until my early fifties when my arms became too short for me to read the newspaper. They degraded pretty quicky after that and I became a fan of my handguns with 8" barrels and reading glasses. Scopes on pistols and I just don't get along and I suspect having essential tremors has something to do with that. Red dot's had become fuzzy dots but with cataract removal recently they are sharp again and with no magnification they are much less a problem than a scope. I just can't shoot worth a damn anymore---with anything, but I'm going to keep on keeping on. Now being over half way thru my nineth decade might be a factor in my problems.
