Which Pinhole Glasses are right for you?

The individual selection of the right Pinhole Glasses is done by trying out the different grid types. A quick comparison makes it easy to determine this. This is because, as a rule, people can tell whether the glasses are good for them as soon as they put them on.

The most important criteria for choosing the right pinhole glasses are:

• Individual vision quality – most people see more clearly immediately when wearing pinhole glasses.
• Individual well-being with the pinhole glasses – some people feel irritated by the ‘grid’, but this is soon no longer noticed.

The distinguishing criterion between the different grid types is the incidence of light. Here the principle applies: ‘See well with a lot of light, see poorly with little light.’ Seeing with pinhole glasses theoretically reveals a certain contradiction here. This is because the pinhole changes the distribution of light in the eye, preventing scattered light and enclosing the object being viewed as if through a keyhole. Since we can only see what we know and what we have once made visible to ourselves, the ‘old’ sharp image familiar to us reappears in our visual centre, which we once saw before the stress-related change in our eyes. The brain now has to do the rest of the work.

We offer pinhole glasses in three different designs:

• Conventional Pinhole Glasses – suitable for everyone
• Bifocal Pinhole Glasses – preferred for prescriptions of 3 dioptres or more, or for older people
• Pyramid-shaped pinhole glasses – preferred for people who do not wear glasses and for prescriptions up to 2 dioptres
