When you say bright objects are a bit flarey, which focal lengths are you referring to and in which scope? Astigmatism in your eye can cause this effect and it's more pronounced at low powers. Some people wear glasses at low power but take them off at higher powers when the astigmatism is no longer an issue. I have some astigmatism but my low power eyepieces don't have enough eye relief for glasses so I just put up with it.

The point is that if the flaring is caused by your eye then upgrading your eyepieces won't make a difference.
