Design:

The first Pinhole glasses made from organic materials! These raster glasses, sustainably crafted from cotton fibres using traditional methods, meet the highest standards for eyewear.

• Dimensionally stable
• Easy to clean
• No moisture or temperature fluctuations

Advantages over conventionally manufactured glasses:

• Very lightweight
• Silky sheen
• Optimal wearing comfort (no pressure on the bridge of the nose)
• User-friendly and recyclable material
• Easy to repair

Mesh: Conventional round hole pattern

The curved lenses have a full-surface (coarser) round hole pattern, thus offering the greatest light incidence. This type of grid is suitable for everyone and is also worn for preventative purposes.

Use:

10 to 20 minutes of daily training with the grid glasses. Wear the grid glasses regularly during your routine tasks at home and at work. If you are long-sighted, wear the grid glasses at close range, e.g. when reading. If you are short-sighted, simply let your eyes ‘jog’ with the grid glasses – also known as multidot glasses – while watching television, working at a screen or focusing into the distance during a relaxing walk.

Benefits:

Training with pinhole glasses is a holistic method for relaxed and natural vision. Based on the physical ‘pinhole effect’, pinhole glasses allow you to see almost as sharply as with optically ground glasses.

Why is this the case? As soon as the grid glasses are worn, the brain sends out light signals that stimulate the eye muscles to focus the image sharply. The eye is thus ‘forced’ to perform its natural function again, namely to be constantly in motion through the work of focusing.

With corrective glasses, the ‘built-in’ magnification largely takes over this work of focusing, leading to the weakening of the eye muscles over time. The grid glasses lead to an approx. 50% beneficial calming of the retina and influence the entire eye organism, such as the eyes' perception, colour perception and light tolerance.

Design:

The emphatically purist frame is unisex. A metal spring hinge ensures durability. The simplicity of the glasses is complemented by the velvety-silky sheen on the black frame and also makes an environmentally conscious statement.

Maintaining eye health in our hectic times

Traditional vision exercises to strengthen eyesight are time-consuming and require disciplined practice to compensate for visual impairments in the long term. Training with grid glasses or pinhole glasses is well suited to modern ‘multitasking’. You can complete your daily training while doing other things, such as working on the computer.

Eye training with grid glasses – an intelligent alternative for visual impairments

In the modern and complex world of work, our eyes are exposed to one-sided strain on their adaptive capacity (problems with light-dark adjustment) and one-sided strain on their accommodative capacity (problems with near-far adjustment). These are usually the cause of declining vision or the development of vision problems. Vision training with pinhole glasses ‘breaks through’ this one-sidedness of vision. The eye learns to see naturally again.

The origins of eye training according to William Bates

William Bates, the forefather of eye training, proved through numerous experiments that vision can be retrained. According to his findings, it was not the lens of the eye that was responsible for ‘focusing’ and/or visual acuity, but rather the activity of the six external eye muscles. In 1920, he published his empirical findings in his classic work ‘Perfect Sight Without Glasses’.

Based on his theory, Bates developed simple eye exercises for various visual impairments. This is known as the ‘Bates Method’. Later, the luminary among vision trainers, Janet Goodrich, built on the Bates Method and published the first studies on grid glasses or pinhole glasses.
