Notes from Greg: (anecdotal observations, not medical advice!)

  • Don't drive with pinholes, or do other things that require good peripheral vision for safety!
  • Read the information below and search the web for info about pinholes, but eventually just try them and "see" for yourself if you like them. If you have a very mild prescription, you may not want to bother with pinholes. The single most popular use of pinholes is for watching TV and movies. From there, explore reading, computer, walking (not in traffic), and other activities. Most people wear them a few minutes to a few hours per day. They take some getting used to, but point you toward more "centralized" vision in the process. (A key point of the Bates Method)
  • The aviator style pinholes are very well made and have emedded wires in the ear pieces to bend to a perfect fit. The smaller holes tend to appeal to more people. It's not an exact science, but the smaller holes correct up to about 6 diopters. Above that starts to get blurry, but even people with very high prescriptions often like the pinholes a lot to see somewhat clearer without their glasses.
  • The wrap-around pinholes' are smaller and more stylish. They have larger holes which provide less correction for distance, but can be really great for work on a computer if your prescription is "medium" or less, because the larger holes make it easier to follow the mouse cursor. They have no wires in the ear pieces but have a nice springy fit. A lot of people like them for reading, even including higher nearsighted people. With the large holes, they don't require as much background light.
  • Consider getting both pairs, to give yourself every option to spend some time without regular glasses. We offer these pinholes because a lot of people have trouble figuring out which ones to get. For some reason many sellers have gone to disappointing big holes with the aviator style frame (the $10 pairs on ebay have big holes and no wires to adjust fit, very cheaply made). Most people who try both prefer the smaller holes, at least with the aviator style. But for a few reasons, quite a lot of people do like the wrap-arounds with the bigger holes. They have a pleasing fit and feel. and they are definitely cooler looking. They way they catch the light makes them look a lot more like sunglasses, where the aviator style looks like the human fly.

    I hope that's helpful! - gm


How they work

  • Pinhole Glasses are made with black plastic lenses with tiny holes (pinholes).
  • The placement and size of the holes turn blurry images into focused ones for most people, whether nearsighted, farsighted, presbyopic (middle aged vision), or astigmatic.
  • Blurry vision is caused by light rays landing in front of or behind the retina.
  • Pinhole Glasses correct blurry vision by directing light rays onto the retina at the back of the eye without the use of a lens.
  • Pinhole Glasses may reduce eye strain, relax your eye muscles, and help your mind break the habit of strain needed to see clearly through prescription glasses.

Will they work for me?

  • Almost anyone who has blurry vision can see more clearly with Pinhole Glasses. 
  • They work for most people who are nearsighted, farsighted, presbyopic, and for some people with astigmatism or cataracts. 
  • They cannot fully sharpen your vision if your correction is above about 6 diopters, but they still may be useful for other tasks.
  • They are very helpful for cataracts to avoid annoying reflections from the sun.
  • Pinhole Glasses are great to use while on the computer and reading, and for seeing the blackboard, TV and movies.
  • Pinhole Glasses must not be used while driving due to the reduced peripheral vision.

Do I need the larger or smaller holes?

  • Most people tend to like the smaller holes because they give better correction.
  • If you have fairly mild nearsightedness or farsightedness or low strength reading glasses, you may prefer the wrap around tortoise shell glasses with the larger holes that are spaced farther apart.
  • We've also found that many nearsighted people find the larger holes ideal for computer work - the larger and more frequent holes make it easier to see the whole screen and track movement of the cursor with the mouse.
  • If in doubt you may want to go with the smaller holes or get both. You may find you use each of them for different purposes.

Are the holes annoying?

  • After a short adjustment period most people no longer notice the holes. 
  • The pinholes support good vision habits because they require you to move and practice "centralized" vision.

Why should I choose these Pinhole Glasses?

Our Black & Blue Pinhole Glasses are adjustable, many other brands are not. That means you can bend the earpieces to adjust them for a snug fit.
NOTE: The wrap style pinhole glasses do NOT have adjustable ear pieces, but have a springy fit that fits any face.
