Grid: Bifocal dot grid

With this type of grid, the dot grid in the upper viewing area of the curved lenses is smaller and denser, while in the lower viewing area it becomes larger and coarser. This enables a dynamic change in ‘focusing’ between relaxation (small holes) and training. Many years of experience show that this type of grid is preferred by people with more than 3.0 dioptres.

Use:

Daily Pinhole Glasses training for 10 to 20 minutes. Integrate the glasses into your daily home or work routines. For long-sightedness, they help with reading, and for short-sightedness, they help with relaxed distance vision – e.g. when out walking.

Benefits:

Pinhole glasses provide active training for the eye. The pinhole effect provides a clear image, and the muscles remain mobile thanks to impulses from the brain – in contrast to corrective glasses, which relieve and weaken the eye.

Design:

The robust black matt panto-style frame is slightly oval at the top and rounded at the bottom. This model is characterised by high-quality features: spring hinges that adapt perfectly to all face sizes for both men and women. The side shielding is advantageous, preventing distracting light from entering during training.

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 pinhole glasses or pinhole glasses is well suited to modern ‘multitasking’. You can complete your daily training while working on the computer, for example.

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

In the modern working world, our eyes are exposed to one-sided strain: adaptation (problems with light-dark adjustment) and accommodation (problems with near-far adjustment). This often leads to declining vision. Vision training with pinhole glasses breaks through this one-sidedness of vision. The eye learns to see naturally again.

The origin of eye training according to William Bates

William Bates, the forefather of eye training, proved through numerous experiments that vision can be retrained. It is not the lens of the eye that is responsible for ‘focusing’ and visual acuity , but the activity of the six external eye muscles. In 1920, he published his empirical findings in his classic work ‘Perfect Sight Without Glasses’. Bates developed simple eye exercises for various visual impairments, known as the Bates method. Later, Janet Goodrich built on this method and published the first studies on grid and pinhole glasses.
