Myopia and Pinhole-Glasses

Myopia or nearsightedness is one of the most common eyesight problems and it recently is getting even more popular. People who suffer from this condition can't see distant objects clearly without glasses.

For most people myopia is hereditary and usually shows its symptoms (headache, eyestrain and fatigue) in childhood. Many times the conditions worsens with age, and causes myopic creep.

Myopia can be treated in several ways, the 3 best treatments are:
  1. Glasses and contact lenses
  2. Laser-assisted surgery (LASIK)
  3. Pinhole-glasses

In this post we will discuss the option of pinhole-glasses.

First of all you may ask why pinhole instead of normal glasses. The answer is simple- studies show that prescription glasses often assist in a faster degeneration of vision. Those results prove that using pinhole glasses is much better in the long run.

Why don't pinhole glasses have the same effect as prescription glasses?

Pinholes help the formation of a clear image on the retina without using diffraction. The same diffraction that makes prescription glasses dangerous.

The best place to look for pinhole glasses is at Pinhole Glasses They offer highly affordable glasses at the price of $19.99 a pair or the special offer of 2 pairs at $29.99 including free shipping. Their site also contains a testimonial page. This is just one of the many happy user mails:

"I want to tell you that I am very impressed with your glasses and prompt service. Your airmail package arrived very quickly and my eyesight is clear when I use the pinhole glasses. I used to struggle changing focus between my needlework and work order sheets at my workstation, but now I find it easy to do and it does not strain my eyes. I am definitely a fan of yours and may have some more orders for you from my co-workers." D.Allen - London, UK

I recommend you read a FAQ on pinhole glasses (to do so click on the orange "pinhole glasses" text ).
