This makes them much less susceptible to parallax distortion. Most operators prefer holographic sights for exactly this reason.

Is green Dot better than red dot?

The main advantage of an illuminated red dot over green is acquisition speed; it catches the eye faster and therefore means a faster sight picture and target acquisition. This is because red rays of light have a very high wavelength and a small frequency, which strikes your eye faster than green light.
