Are Pinhole Glasses A Scam?
Pinhole glasses to improve eyesight
www.arelnet.com11/4/11
Pinhole glasses are made of an opaque material (plastic, wood, cardboard etc). The opaque lenses are perforated with small holes. The holes restrict the amount of light entering the eye. The result is that your pupils will try to …
Around that time, I discovered a link to some websites on health issues and read about the theory of “pinhole glasses” for improving sight. Like all alternative therapies that digress from mainstream medicine, there were lots of …

I’m not selling anything!
My eyes seem to be getting weaker and I’ve been told that nearly every optician prescribes over-strength glasses in order to weaken your eyes so that you have to buy new ones every year.
Not very nice 
I heard about pinhole glasses and just checked them out on the web and the idea sounds kind of weird and I wonder if anyone has tried them, and if they work or not.
If you have any info then please post and let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
I can promise you that pinhole glasses work!
I’ve been using them for about 15 minutes every morning for seven years now – you have to use them if you want your eyes to get stronger
Two years after I started using pinhole glasses I went to have my reading glasses checked and was told that my eyes had got stronger and that I needed weaker reading glasses.
I tried telling the surprised ophthalmologist what I’d been doing but he either feigned disinterest or just didn’t want to learn about them.
The reading glasses that he prescribed were almost the weakest possible and I’m stiill using them, five years later.
Pinhole glasses, also called stenopeic glasses, are eyeglasses with lenses that consist of many tiny holes filling an opaque sheet of plastic.
These “pinholes” block indirect rays from entering the eye, thus preventing them from distorting your vision and while this does not actually improve the focusing ability of the eye, it does reduce the size of the blur circles so that reasonably clear vision may be achieved, so If you try on a pair of pinhole glasses, you’ll almost certainly notice an improvement in your vision.
Most people would be reluctant to wear the glasses however, as they are not very fashionable.
What’s more, it should be noted that pinhole glasses reduce both brightness and peripheral vision, and therefore are unsafe to wear while driving or operating machinery.
Good ideas are normally very simple!

I was just checking out some of the posts and replies and came across this one, and Eagerwatcher’s reply prompted me to simply mention what just happened to me a couple of days ago.
I went and got my eyes tested after not visiting an optician for around four years and was told that I’d need a slightly weaker prescription!
And what’s perhaps even more amazing is that I got told the same thing about 6 years ago.
And “yes” I have used pinhole glasses for around 7 years and I do use them for around 15 minutes every morning.
And “no” I get nothing for writing this except the hope that perhaps some readers will use them instead of weakening their eyes every day.
I’ll add my vote to the fact that they work for me.
Just got a pair yesterday and already (with several hours of wearing) my ability to read fine text on computer monitors and elsewhere has improved noticeably.
So before you believe the skeptics try a pair on and see if you end up believing your own eyes for change!
Not sure if this true but I will try to use this as soon as possible
I can only tell you that they work for me.
I’m 66 and my eyes are a little better than they were several years ago.
In fact my 9 year old granddaughter’s school recommended yesterday that she get her eye tested, and I said, “why not, but if there’s a problem then let her try my pinhole glasses for a few weeks before wearing probably over prescribed lenses that will weaken her eyes”.
I make no money from the recommending them
