    Pinhole glasses are also named stenopeic glasses whose lenses are made of many pinhole perforations. The working principle of pinhole glasses is similar as a pinhole camera. Because of the perforations, pinhole glasses can let only a very narrow beam of light enter into the eyes. Therefore, the size of circle of confusion on the retina can be reduced and the depth of field can be increased. Pinhole glasses can be used by people with both myopia and hyperopia. However, they are not suitable for people with strong myopia.

    Of course, they can improve your vision. Pinhole glasses which are well known as stenopeic glasses, are eyeglasses with a series of pinhole-sized perforations filling an opaque sheet of plastic in place of each lens. Because of being combined with certain eye exercises, could permanently improve eyesight. Even if pinhole glasses are claimed to be useful for people who are both near- and far-sighted, they are not recommended for people with over 6 diopters of myopia. Additionally, pinhole glasses reduce brightness and peripheral vision, and thus should not be used for driving or when operating machinery. But there is still something you should pay more attention to. For example, you should not drive with pinholes, or do other things that require good peripheral vision for safety!

    It is said that pinhole glasses are useful for people who are near-sighted, far-sighted or astigmaic, but they are not recommended for people with over 6 diopters of myopia. You do not have to do any prescription or eye exam. Just put them on, and you will see clearly. According to some wearers, some eye exercises are needed to be used together to improve eyesight. Eyesight if used together with eye exercises. But due to a lack of formal clinical studies to substantiate the effect, it is better to try them by you.
