Pinhole Glasses - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Heya-

I was wondering if any of you have had any experience with pinhole glasses? I've been told that they do, indeed work, as it is scientifically proven to. However, I am a bit skeptical. It's too good to be true, is it not? If you've had experience with them, how long was it before you began to see results? How long should they be worn at a time, and how often each day/week?

Also, if your eyes grow accustom to them, wouldn't they become dependent on them for they serve as crutches?

I'm asking because for the past 4-5 years, I've been trying to find solutions to my myopia without having to wear glasses. I've tried almost everything. I actually now own a pair of pinhole SUNglasses. But because they have a dark lens, I don't use them-- at all. (Waste of money

).

Anyway, I'm thinking of purchasing the original ones now. What do you think? Any opinions would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Well, I know for sure that looking thru a pinhole does improve your vision. Though it gave me a headache.

Where I used to work we shipped these glasses out for our client. He gave us all a pair. I do wear glasses and decided to try them. He said you're suppose to wear them whenever you read. I thought they were pretty good. They were a little bothersome but I think you would get use to them. I don't know if I still have my, but I thought they worked.

Hey. I'm always delighted to hear success stories such as yours. By how much did your vision improve (from what acuity to what acuity?) and how long did it take?

Thanks

It looks like I would get a headache just by looking at the picture
