There are a lot of claims that pinhole glasses can reverse myopia, astigmatism, or presbyopia. Pinhole glasses can temporarily improve vision using the pinhole effect. But if you were to wear these glasses for a longer period of time, could it improve vision. Eye doctors agree that the evidence to improve eyesight is lacking. But, pinhole glasses are used in eye clinics to determine a possible need for glasses.

I’ve not been wearing contacts for 1.5 years and only using my real glasses when I drive, then I’ve been wearing pinhole glasses when watching TV, using the computer, and sometimes out on walks. I’ve also been taking Vision Essentials eye vitamins, and today I went to the optometrist, and my eyes actually improved for the first time in 25years. My old prescription was -2.25 in the right eye, and my left eye was -2.0. But today I only needed a -1.75 lense in my right eye to have 20/20 vision. So yes, your eyesight can improve. Mine did, and I’m now 48 years old.

Tiba tiba melihat iklan pagi ini, dan mulai mencari tau, dan sampai lah saya disini membaca komentar anda. Kalau pengalaman anda benar dan jujur, maka saya makin bersemangat untuk rajin memakai nya nanti, sekarang saya sedang memesan kacamata itu, dan sekarang harga nya murah sekali.

I was prescribed glasses 26 years ago when I was 50.I never wore them but started using pinhole glasses for 15 mins a day watching tv and also doing eye exercises. After three weeks my vision improved so much I didn’t need glasses any more and it’s been that way for 26 years until this year when I was prescribed glasses again for driving . I’ve just started using the pinholes again, so we’ll see what happens .

I have myopia and i use these glasses my eyesight went from -2.50 to /-2.25

[@aurelianspodarec]

so basically nothing 0.25 canbe a machine error, if it improved0.75 let us know, otherwise this is normal, as vision varies from 0.25/0.5 during the day, so if you improved 0.75 that could mean something, maybe, maybe

Been wearing these for a while now and my vision seems alot better but not yet tested

[@jaymartinson3236]

I cold turkey stopped wearing my glasses a week ago. I can already tell that my vision has improved.

[@drevildruid]

When I had my eyes examined in the past my optometrist had a pair of these glasses and had me wear them. My vision was perfect in both eyes. I asked why they weren't available on the market and he said there's no money in them as vision centers count on repeat business due to eyesight becoming worse.

[@DrEyeGuy]

Your eye doctor said that... 🤦‍♂️??? First off, not true. Second, they are available, and have been for years. 5 bucks on amazon.

​​​@@DrEyeGuyYeah, i didnt even know these had any real effect like 20mins ago, but remember buying these from summer fair as a kid for like 2€ and they had like flags and other pictures on them. Came by this because i first looked why australians wont just eat the rabbits as they have massive problem with them and they are intrusive species (apparently they do eat them ALOT)... ...Then i found out that because rabbit meat is very lean, if you primarily relay on it for sustenance, you could get something called proteine sickness due lack of fat and carbohydrates and you could die... ...while reading about that some articles said that animals in colder climates tend to be leaner, and i tought that that cant be true (its not), and while confirming that... ... i found out that animals and even humans who live on colder climates tend to have shorter limbs, and there was article about the Saami peopole in northern fenno scandia and about inuits and picture of some inuit dude with these rad loking glasses made from bone :D and i started looking in to why they wore them, and found out that while protecting from snow and light they also make tour vision clearer... i was like "no way :D" tried that with my fingers, and was amazed, then looked to if those inuit glasses or something similiar was used commonly by other civilizations before glass, came by some article about these hole glasses and now i am here XD

[@alaindeloc5290]

As a photographer, I can confirm that smaller apertures are producing sharper images because the depth of field is increased. I was wondering what if someone will manufacture contact lenses with pinhole? No diopter for the contacts, just a small black circle in the center to match the diameter of the eye pupil and a smaller hole in the center, like a ring, to create a pinhole. That would be the physical emulation of those eyedrops. I think that could work effectively for people with mild presbyopia (like + 0.75 or +1) allowing a clear vision in daylight without the need of glasses. Of course, once the light diminishes, the contacts should be removed and replaced with normal glasses.

[@camisnyder3460]

I literally had the exact same idea/theory!!!! Genius. However, like all things that work and would cripple an empire will quickly get shutdown.

[@RealKingFloppa]

[@julilla1]

I've never heard of them, but I did try your suggested method of using your fingers. My -7.5 vision was a teeny bit improved. It's an interesting idea though, and it would be great if there was a similar therapy for improving vision without glasses.

I was able to stop wearing prescription glasses (which gradually made my eyes worse) after wearing pinhole glasses. They're the only way I can look at a computer screen for an extended period without serious eye strain. Of course, you're going to say they don't improve eyesight $$$.

RE:CATARACTS! I just got these glasses. As I look through one hole with one eye at a time at something well lit…I CAN SEE MY INDIVIDUAL CATARACTS!. I can see the shape of them. See the obstruction as well as where the eye cataract is open. I can look at say a bit of text on a white background. I can move the eye’s area over a chosen text and watch it clear or get covered by the cataract. Do any eye professionals know of this? I actually sketched out each eye’s cataract and level of obstruction to show my ophthalmologist next week.

[@Sara-gl8ue]

What shape are the cataracts?

[@drbassface]

@@Sara-gl8ue right eye is kind of a closed circle in the center and then off to the right side Left eye is like a rotated square in the center with branches at 10, 2, and 5 Both have small clear areas. Cataracts seem to cover 2/3 of eye view each. Try it

[@gingerproject888network6]

Most Eye doctors won’t help you improve eye sights to get rid of wearing glasses or they won’t be in business. Do your research on improving your vision with eye exercises and remedies. I stay away from doctors who over prescribed your glasses to worsen your eye sight. $$$$ I use low prescription glasses which is close to my vision but enhance the clearity a bit that won’t give me headaches, make my vision worse after I take it off. It allows me to improve my vision.

Can it make eye floater not visible?

[@DrEyeGuy]

It's possible depending on where your floater is at in your eye. But, It's also possible it could make your floaters more visible. In fact, atropine, an eye drop to dilate the eye (pupil), can be used to help people not notice their floaters. People with small pupils have a chance to notice their floaters even more.

What do you mean? Pinhole glasses r harmfl?

[@ElpBeautysupplycom]

I've been using these pinhole glasses for a while now, and I can confidently say they've become a game-changer in my daily routine. Unlike traditional corrective lenses that sometimes add to the strain, these glasses relieve pressure and actually help with my headaches. What I appreciate most is the relaxation my eyes experience. Even though the light level might not be as bright, the strain is noticeably reduced once I put them on. The best part? No more juggling between glasses for different purposes; these pinhole glasses work seamlessly for reading, whether it's up close or from a distance. It took a bit of getting used to, but once my eyes adjusted, it was almost like forgetting they were pinhole glasses. The focus in the middle gradually brightens, making it a comfortable and convenient choice for any task. If you're looking for an alternative to traditional glasses that promotes eye comfort and versatility, these pinhole glasses are worth a try!

[@thanksman4897]

Roughly how long would you say it took for you to get used to them? And the pinhole glasses effect stays even once you've taken them off?
