Can Pinhole Glasses replace eyeglasses?
Yes and no. It all depends on the nature of your vision problem. If you are FARSIGHTED (can’t see close up) you can throw away your reading glasses and forget about ever buying another pair. However, if you are NEARSIGHTED and need to use glasses for such tasks as driving, you will still need the glasses when performing those tasks. Pinholes should not be used for driving due to the loss of light and limited peripheral vision that they provide, but you WILL be able to use Pinhole Glasses when watching TV or movies or when sitting in the back of an auditorium. The more you use the Pinhole Glasses, the better. Using them exercises your eye muscles, but when you use eyeglasses your eye muscles relax and get weaker.
