There is an alternative way to correcting vision naturally that many consumers are unaware of. Pinhole glasses, also called stenopeic glasses, offer vision improvement in a natural way without the use of prescription lenses.

The way that pinhole glasses work is there are several small perforations that hold together an opaque layer of plastic or metal replacing the lenses. The individual wearing the glasses looks through any of the tiny holes. As only coherent rays of light are able to pass through vision is improved and clear. This gives the effect of reducing the width of a bundle of diverging rays that come from each point of an object that an individual is looking at. In normal conditions, without the use of these glasses, the complete opening of the pupil admits light. This is when problems such as myopia and farsightedness occur. Since only a narrow amount of light enters the eye, the core muscles of the eyes are allowed to relax and focus more clearly.

These type of glasses are used to help: Eye strain, ...
... fatigue, headaches, and blurry vision while using a computer, and to protect the eyes from exposure to harmful light rays. They are not appropriate for persons with severe nearsightedness as there is a honeycomb effect that does not go away. Children and adults alike can wear these type of corrective glasses.

There are several advantages of using pinhole glasses over prescription glasses. They help our ability to focus on words and pictures more closely, provide improved image at all distances, they can be used for a lifetime without replacement unless broken, scratching them does not affect function of the glasses, they do not have to be cleaned of fingerprints, and are much cheaper than prescription glasses.

However, pinhole glasses do reduce peripheral vision and brightness which make them unsafe to wear while driving or operating machinery.


Alan Irel has been writing and publishing vision-related articles, including pinhole glasses, for almost a decade. The rising popularity and claims on the efficacy of pinhole glasses in improving eyesight has aroused his curiosity to delve into this age-old technique for eyesight correction.
