1)
Will pinhole glasses really improve my vision?
If you have a refractive eye disorder of less than 6 diopters, suffer from
presbyopia (age-related eye deterioration), or computer vision syndrome, then
the answer is undoubtedly YES. The minute pinhole apertures on the pinhole
glass lenses, reduce the blur circle on your retina, so allow you to see more
clearly. However, if you suffer from a refractive eye disorder of more than 6
diopters, then pinhole glasses may not work for you - see question 5)
2) What
activities can I use pinhole glasses for?
You can use pinhole glasses for most activities where you are stationary, such
as reading, writing, using a computer, watching TV, watching a theatre
performance or reading notes of a school blackboard. Pinhole glasses are not
recommended for activities where you are in motion, such as driving, as your
periphery vision is severely curtailed.
3) Can I
where pinhole glasses whilst driving?
No - you must never where pinhole glasses whilst driving as your periphery
(side) vision is very limited, because pinhole glasses are designed to let
only direct light rays through into your eyes.
4) Are
pinhole glasses suitable for children?
Yes - pinhole glasses are ideal for children, especially those who are
diagnosed with myopia.
5) My
doctor says I have a refractive disorder of 6 diopters - will pinhole glasses
work for me?
Not everyone with a refractive disorder of 6 diopters or more will find
pinhole glasses practical, as problems with light diffraction and honeycomb
vision become more prevalent to the point that they may outweigh the
advantages.
