What Pinhole Glasses Are

June 24th, 2009

Pin hole glasses are meant to improve your vision so that you will no longer need to wear glasses or contact lenses. These glasses look like a pair of sunglasses that have an opaque disc with rows of pin holes in it. By wearing a pair of pin hole glasses for 30 minutes a day you will be able to cure your problems with such things as astigmatism, double vision, sensitivity to light and cataracts.

This is not a new concept. In fact, doctors knew centuries ago that this would work. There is actually a very simple reason behind the reason that they do work. The reason is that whenever light passes through a series of small holes the light is restricted to only those rays that come directly from the object that the person is looking at. As such, you will not need to focus in order to be able to bring the object to a point and thus be able to view it clearly.

All you have to do is look through a pin hole to understand how these glasses work. You will see that blurry objects will become more focused since the amount of rays that are responsible for making things look blurry (peripheral light rays) will be reduced. Therefore, whenever pin holes are appropriately spaced a person will be able to have clear vision.

There are many great testimonials available online today about how well pinhole glasses work. One user even said that once he had worn these glasses for 20 minutes he was able to read street signs from a far distance without using his glasses.

These pinhole glasses are expensive unfortunately. However, this is a small price to pay for those who are tired of wearing corrective lenses. This is especially true whenever you stop to consider that you will never be able to reach these results simply by wearing a pair of conventional eyeglasses.

Pinhole glasses for blurred vision

June 18th, 2009

When we experience blurred vision, we make a quick call to the opthomologist, get an eye exam and buy one of those expensive prescription glasses. Most people know very little about pinhole glasses.

Pinhole glasses are not made of glass but of an opaque material such as plastic or metal. The person wearing these glasses looks through any of the many holes in the material. There are 2 major issues with the prescription. Improper use would leave the lens with scratches and you may have to use different glasses for reading and distance viewing. With the pinhole glasses, these drawbacks are eliminated. They provide clear vision at all distance and one need not switch glasses between watching TV and reading a book and scratches on the pinhole glasses does not affect the performance of these glasses.

Pinhole glasses reduce the scattering of light and improve the vision which helps people with cataract to see well. These glasses are better than the conventional sunglasses too. If you have ever experienced visual stress from looking at the computer, these glasses work best to reduce the stress on the eyes. These glasses play an important role in myopia prevention. It is very sad that a “minus” prescription is given to a child who cannot see the board clearly in school. The simple solution would be to have a couple of pairs of pinhole glasses in each classroom and the students could use them when they have a difficulty reading the board. It is an inexpensive way to treat the problem and completely avoids the risk involved in using a prescription glass for myopia in children.

Did anyone imagine that the pinhole had so many advantages over the prescription glasses? However, these pinhole glasses have their limitations. These glasses do not completely eliminate the blur with people over 6 diopter of myopia. Since the pinholes glasses blocks some light, it is essential to have good lighting on the viewed object. These glasses should not be used while driving or in motion.

Pinhole glasses cannot completely replace the prescription glasses. But these are an inexpensive and a better option for people with mild myopia and for those who use reading glasses.
