Smoke the rear sight!! Masking tape makes a good smoke!! After you smoke it....stick a toothpick through the aperture to clean it out!!

After you try these suggestions, you might consider having your eye-sight check'd. Sometimes the very beginning of a catarac will cause a minor bluring of the tang-sight hole.

From your description seeing a glare on the bottom 50% sounds to me like you have the tang tipped back to fat and your lust looking through part of the aperture.
Tip tour staff forward a little and see if that "glare" goes away. If it does reset the spring under the tang when you get it where you heed to have it.
When you shoot long range you might have to adjust the staff forward a little to get a full hole and move it back when shooting close.
