Pinhole Glasses
The popular alternative to prescription eyeglasses |
|
Although the concept of pinhole glasses have been around for some time, it is only in recent years that pinhole glasses have risen in popularity. This is in part due to the more stylish and well-finished designs that are available on the market today, together with a greater acceptance of their usefulness by consumers and medical professionals alike.
It is now widely accepted that pinhole glasses do improve vision for those suffering with refractive error eye disorders, indeed even ophthalmologists use pinhole equipment to check eyes for refractive disorders during eye examinations. Moreover, evidence suggesting that concave or 'minus' eyeglass lenses actually accelerate acquired myopia is mounting. Many are turning to pinhole glasses as a prevention method and cure to this problem that has steadily increased over the last 50 years. |

| The Benefits of Pinhole Glasses |
- Improves vision clarity and resolution
For sufferers of refractive eye disorders, pinhole glasses will improve the clarity and resolution of your vision. This is no wishy-washy promise. Vision improvement is guaranteed - it is a scientific fact!
- Many people with cataracts see better through pinholes. A cataract is one or more opacities in the lens that do not allow the light to pass through properly but instead cause it to scatter.
- Using pinholes as sunglasses
Conventional, hole-type pinhole glasses also reduce the brightness of the sun, just like sunglasses. Just put on a pair of pinholes on a sunny day and see how the brightness of the sun is reduced.
- Using pinholes as computer glasses
It would seem that pinhole glasses offer as good a solution to these problems such as fatique, headache, dry eyes, eyestrain, blurred vision and double vision.
- Myopia prevention
This brings us to a very important use for pinholes, Myopia Prevention, an application that has until now been totally ignored. When a person's eye has become abnormally long due to excessive close work, the outermost rays come to a focus in front of the retina and cause the blurred vision. Imagine for a moment the common situation where a child begins to develop myopia and can't see the board in school clearly. The usual solution of giving the child minus lenses is disastrous.

- Increases object brightness
Pinhole glasses are proven to increase apparent object brightness - ideal if you struggle with vision in low-light situations
- Good vision at all distances
Unlike bi-focal and tri-focal glasses that are designed to yield good vision at fixed distances, pinhole glasses allow you to see clearly at all distances, whether short, middle or long distance focus is required. Many users also find them less stressful on the eye than multi-focal or vari-focal lenses.
- One pair suits all situations
Whether you are reading a book or watching TV, one pair of pinhole glasses is all you'll ever need.
- Lightweight, Durable
Our pinhole glasses are lightweight, weighing no more than traditional spectacles.
No need to worry about scratches and marks on the lenses. The performance of pinhole glasses is not adversely affected by defects that would otherwise degrade visual acuity through eyeglasses.
- Using pinholes for cataracts
Many people with cataracts see better through pinholes. A cataract is one or more opacities in the lens that do not allow the light to pass through properly but instead cause it to scatter. By cutting off the peripheral rays, pinholes can reduce some of this scattering and improve the vision.
