Black Pinhole Glasses For Better Vision
So what are pinhole eyeglasses? They're also known as stenopeic glasses, and instead of using clear lenses, it's made from an opaque sheet of plastic lined with pinhole sized openings. These tiny holes on the glasses allow a narrow beam of light to enter the eye, which reduces the circle of confusion on the retina, resulting in clearer images. Pinhole eyeglasses also reduces brightness. While they're great to use to help you see better for doing ordinary things around the house, you should not use them while driving.
The pair of black pinhole glasses I got are made of light plastic, and they don't look all that bad. I use them for doing things around the house or watching tv, and it really doesn't matter whether they look good or not, since I don't use them outside of the house. However, when I'm doing work in front of the computer, or reading, I still need to use my regular eyeglasses to help me see.
Seeing Better With Pinhole Glasses
While I can't say that my vision has improved from using pinhole glasses, I am able to see much better using the pinhole glasses. I was quite amazed at how well they work in helping me see when I first got them. I'm nearsighted with a slight degree of astigmatism, and I think my nearsightedness is probably worse than the average person. If I were to wear no glasses, everything looks rather fuzzy and blurry to me. So I really wasn't expecting much at first before I tried the pinhole glasses.
But I was surprised at how well the pinhole glasses allowed me to see when I first tried them. While things did not crisp and clear as they do with my regular eyeglasses, I was able to see much more clear, and I was able to see the lines and edges around the objects much better - far better than I imagined possible without corrective lenses. So, it was really surprising for me.
What really made my day is that I was able to watch television fine without any corrective lenses, using just the pinhole eyeglasses. For example, without any glasses, everything is basically a blur on the TV, but with the pinhole glasses on, sitting at my normal spot, I found that I could actually read some of the text on the screen. For example, I watch the business news channel quite often, and I could actually read the stock tickers and market quotes with just the pinhole glasses. Granted, it was not crisy clear, but clear enough for me to read.
I also found that when I wear the pinhole glasses outside, my eyesight is even better, probably because of the bright day light. I could see everything around me clearly, and that made me pretty happy. If I were to place a number on how much better I can see using pinhole glasses compared to using no glasses at all, I would have to say that I can see at least 50% to 60% better using the pinhole glasses - enough to allow me to easily do everyday things around the house without having to squint my eyes. That was $5 well spent!
