      It doesn't matter what you come up with against pinhole glasses, they do enable someone with serious sight problems to see reasonably well until proper help is secured. So stop discouraging people. The glasses are a temporary help especially with cataract. I speak from experience.

      Me too! I swear by them...Another thing I used to vastly improve my vision to the point where I managed to get the optical restriction on my license removed was, I put myself on a diligent 3d eye (Magic Eye) exercise program!!! The concept is, once you obtain the initial 3d image you then focus on another flat spot within the image and then duplicate the 1st set of instructions to get to a 2nd level image...It's hard at first, but once your eye becomes relaxed enough you can then proceed further..I've only ever got to a level 4!! Major eye strain lol you know your eye is getting a workout! Good luck love my great vision now and no more glasses 👍

      I just bought a pair for $5 because I haven’t been able to see an eye doctor during this virus. I lost my glasses and I am out of contacts. When I put the pinhole glasses on it was like WOW I can see again. The directions are to wear them 15-20 minutes a day. Since I haven’t been able to see a doctor this was another option. In the past my eyes have gotten better like when I wasn’t on a computer at all for over 6 months. Just telling you my real experiences.

      Pinhole glasses improve visual acuity when one has cataracts. When they check me at hospital they get me to read the chart without the pinhole and then with it. I can usually read two more lines with the pinhole. This is because there is less diffusion of light within the lens.

    The question for self experimentation and healing is not whether they permanently improve vision but whether if they cause harm by degeneration and atrophy? We know that artificial lenses do both. So, if these glasses do not harm current vision, experimentation is a valid choice.

    Pinhole glasses is like a dumble for a person who does bodyweight excercises. My eyes were -3 before and now with the use of pinhole glasses to enhance eye excercises it's been reduced to -2.25. I use contact lenses too. As my eyesight gets better I just slowly and gradually reduce the power. By every 6 months I reduce .25 . But never use it with contacts on or don't over use it because your eyes will get tired if you do so. Bussiness men hates when some thing cheap tries to kill there expensive products. 😂

    In most cases pinhole glasses as a stand alone therapy will not do much for permanent improvement of eyesight. However, you ignore the fact that pinholes do work for many people, whether or not they combine their use with other vision therapy. Also you should take into account that when you wear pinholes instead of prescription lenses to watch TV or read, or screen reading, etc, your eyes are not getting progressively worse from looking through a distorting lens.

    I don't know about pinhole glasses, but I do know that you can improve your vision with exercise and relaxation exercises. I was at one point many years ago a -3.50 in both eyes. I now don't wear anything. I do occasionally need to do the exercises and relaxation techniques as my vision will go to a -1.00 if I don't. I have had several eye doctors amazed at my improvement and say I don't need correction. The first improvement was almost 30 years ago and it was by accident due to being sick and sleeping a lot.

    My view is pinhole glasses will reduce eye strain since you're not using your ciliary muscles. Which will prevent spasms for extended close up work. But to improve your eyesight, the ciliary muscles need to be exercised. Pinhole glasses for extended close up but get out there and focus far and close during the day without them. What do you think?

    Pinhole glasses prove that the real cause of myopia is a deficiency in "centralization" with regard to a person's overall visual system. I am going to try making the pinholes a bit bigger (with a drill and small diameter bit) and see if this will help as a progressive tool.

      @JesusChrist5000 3 роки тому +8

      ​@@endmyopia Why else does the ability to see something with accuity improve while looking through a tiny pinhole? My explanation is the pinhole does the centralizing for you. No need for a corrective lense to correct for incorrect focal length, eyeball shape, etc. I think Bates and others maintain this position as well. Because the real problem apparently is a lack of centralization which the pinhole provides. I agree that NITM and eyeglasses destroy natural eyesight, so you bring up a good point. Perhaps the constant near point activity impairs a person's natural centralization ability?

    Hi Jake! You're great but so are pinholes, especially for high myopias with astigmatism, maybe not so much for low myops. I actually find it easier to perform active focus on an object and letters at a distance with and after removing pinhole glasses. It's comfortable actually, feeling my eye muscles relaxing, of course using it for distance and not more close up. Hope you would give pinhole a little more credit, cheers! 😉

      Pinhole works, yes, sir. But Pinhole does not work alone to cure myopia, the person has to do some exercises together, I tell you this because I used it and it worked perfectly to me, but as I said I did several exercises with discipline, everyday for hour, but the person have to do the exercise at least 2 hours and use the Pinhole glasses should only be used for 1 hour per day, not more that this.
      Note: I do not sell pinhole, I do not know personal or work for anyone who sells, plus I tell you that you use your creativity to make yourselves your own pinhole glasses, because it's easy.
      In yotube there are several videos where some person teaches the exercises to improve your eyes. Now I tell you need discipline, discipline, discipline, then in 6 months you are healed if you have low myopia, but if you have high will need more discipline, means more time to exercise. For who have problem to read, it will be faster, 3 months. Many different problems can get excellent results. I have to say doing the exercises with discipline, Practicing, Practicing you will have success. Believe me.

      jorrgefromage Exercises do exist, to strengthen the ciliary muscles in the eyes (Bates method). I don't see how doing exercises would waste money but I do see how eye glasses would waste money for a simple crutch which only panders to the symptom and not to the root of the problem.
      How much have you looked into exercises ('Habits', whatever you want to call them) like the Bates Method for you to come to such a conclusion or is the conclusion you have come to based on ignorance? I have done Bate's Method to a degree where I have seen improvement over a month's timeline.
      What excuse you make will not do you or anyone else any favours unless you are a sadist (Getting off to putting people's hopes down based on disinformation) or you are in the spectacle industry and doing so may keep others from improving eyesight and therefore improving revenue.

    I want to tell you that my eyesight is very strong meaning that my peripheral vision annoys me. It doesn't annoy me much but when I was little it used to annoy me a lot more. For example; one object will bother my peripheral vision and I would have to move it away. The object never bothered me when I looked directly at it, it only bothered me when I didn't look directly at it, meaning that it bothered just my peripheral vision. Later on I discovered the pinhole glasses and it seemed to downgrade my vision which made the object not annoy my peripheral vision if they are in the spectrum of the pinhole glasses.

      Exactly which eye muscles that have anything to do with myopia, focus, or acuity are "weak" precisely? Right answer: None. Myopia isn't a "weak eye muscle" problem. And what determines focus is the ciliary muscle, which isn't affected by pinhole glasses. #knowyourbiology

  • @MrMiaumee
    @MrMiaumee 8 років тому +8

    All that is good, except that it seems that this review on pinhole glasses is based more on ignorance and confirmation bias more than anything though.
    The idea of using pinhole glasses instead of minus lenses is that it forces the light rays to be projected to your eyes in tiny bundles, thereby dramatically reducing aberrations both in the center and the periphery of the eye. This means that for someone with -6D of myopia or less, doing close work with pinhole (instead of minus lenses) can help eliminate the hyperopic defocus induced to both the central and peripheral retina. In fact, if you ever wear pinhole glasses, you should be able to tell that wearing pinhole for close work does not incur the nasty blurring vision as the usual minus glasses would do - and this is sometimes even true when an appropriately underprescribed pair of minus lenses is used.
    But then of course, it's always a good idea to refrain from oversimplification in general. Since pinhole glasses restrict an enormous amount of light to the eyes, it's much harder for it to be used for reading physical books than, say, computer work, where the monitor itself already provides an appropriate amount of light. In addition, the honeycomb effect of pinhole can be a bit annoying to get used to - since it can occur at times that one needs to look through some specific holes to attain clarity of vision.
    So as with any other topic, the effects of pinhole glasses is a bit more subtle than most of us realize. While substituting pinhole with minus lenses for close work can address the cause of myopia, there is no evidence that it can actually provide stimulus to reverse it. So while it could be part of a myopia mitigation strategy (along with an appropriated prescribed distance lenses), it would probably be a stretch (and perhaps debilitating) to use it for distance activities.

      +Thomas Lu I barely scratched the surface. Serious optical distortion from pinhole images -try wearing pinhole glasses for close up for any length of time and witness the mother of all headaches. The logical way to deal with myopia is addressing focal planes, not increasing depth of field at the serious expense of image continuity and ignoring myopia degree in that process. Also yes, myopic defocus does provide the stimulus necessary to potentially reverse axial elongation. Check the studies.

It's like putting a blindfold on and expecting one day to start seeing through the blindfold. In fact, I don't think anyone ever has got any kind of benefit from regular glasses, why has nobody realized this? Why is nobody going against it? It is the same thing media has done with cancer, brainwashing us to think their meds or therapy helps, but does it really?

I never really trusted the Bates method as i don't trust any Olistic theory, so I never believed these glasses would heal anything... but the physical effect of actually being able to read wearing them, is proven. If what you are saying is that the Bates method doesn't work, well I am with you on that one: it's an olistic "science", therefore a NOT a science at all :)
