"Join
the Thousands of People Worldwide that have Helped Their
Vision Naturally!"
Millions of people have eye problems, ranging
from slight blurriness to near blindness. Most think there
is nothing they can do about it, but for some conditions,
there are methods that can help strengthen eye muscles.
Half the people in our society suffer from
serious loss of vision and we are expected to accept this
as normal. Dr. Janet Goodrich, founder of The Janet Goodrich
Method, taught people to free themselves from glasses and
contacts for over 30 years. Through exploring the causes
of visual blur rather than just the symptoms Dr. Goodrich
has proven that eyesight can improve. Often eyesight begins
to deteriorate due to physical or emotional stress at a
particular period in one's life.
When your eyes are placed behind normal prescription glasses,
you fall into a trap where you no longer use the focusing
muscles in your eyes to the fullest. This important ciliary
muscle begins to weaken, requiring visits to your eye doctor
for stronger and stronger glasses. You can reverse this
downhill slide and help develop your eye muscles now by
The fix that fails kids' eyes

The standard prescription for correcting children's short sight actually
seems to make their eyes deteriorate faster. And it has been used routinely
for decades
MILLIONS of people worldwide may have worse eyesight and even be more likely
to go blind because of a long-held but misguided idea about how to correct
short-sightedness. A study intended to confirm the theory has instead been
stopped because the children's eyesight was getting worse, New Scientist
has learned.
For decades, many optometrists have been routinely "undercorrecting" short-sightedness,
or myopia, when prescribing glasses or contact lenses. "What was
done was done with the best of intentions," says optometrist Daniel
O'Leary of Anglia Polytechnic University in Cambridge, England. Indeed,
his study of 94 children in Malaysia sought to prove the value of undercorrection.
Instead, it showed the opposite.
While the number of children involved was small, amazingly it is the
largest and most rigorous study to date. "The study was meant to
run for three years but after two years, when we found out we were making
the children's eyes ...

The moment you put on pinhole glasses you will notice
instant clarity and focused vision., Computer Glasses,
Myopia Prevention Glasses and for those with Cataracts
or Corneal Damage.
How They Work.
Pinholes provide an infinite depth of focus so that even when the eye is not
correctly focused, objects will appear as if in focus. Importantly they eliminate
scattering of light to the retina and hence improve vision.
The idea behind pin-hole glasses is not new.
It was known centuries ago and was used before the advent
of glass lenses. The reason they work is simple. "Light
passing through a small hole (or holes) is restricted to
rays coming straight from the viewed object; these rays
do not need focusing to bring them to a point," according
to Drs. Russell S. Worrall and Jacob Nevyas in The Eye
Exorcisors published in The Health Robbers.
“If glasses are worn continuously over
time the poor vision will generally become worse.
Essentially what glasses do is lock the eyes into
their refractive state and in order to see through
your lenses you have to maintain the poor vision
that the lenses are designed to correct.”
Wm H Bates: Perfect Sight Without Glasses 1920
|
Just look through any pin-hole and you'll
see what they mean. When you do this, blurred images become
focused. This is because the amount of peripheral light
rays (which are responsible for blurring) is reduced. With
appropriately spaced multiple pin-holes, you'll get clear
straight vision without the difficulty of concentrating
on a single hole. Regular use of these special pinhole
glasses helps exercise eye muscles and helps eyes relax
at the end of a tiring day and thus has a beneficial effect.
Particularly useful for those who spend a great deal of
time looking at computer and/or TV screens, Pinhole Glasses
help retrain your eye muscles, just as other forms of exercise
retrain muscles elsewhere.
a. It is not known who invented
the pinhole glasses, but the scientific principles
of pinhole effects were discovered many centuries
ago. Pinhole glasses are widely sold in America,
Europe and Australia as substitutes to prescription
glasses since the 1950’s at least.
b. The basic optical
principles of the pinhole are commented
on in Chinese texts from the fifth
century BC. Chinese writers had discovered
by experiments that light travels
in straight lines. The philosopher
Mo Tsu was the first – to our
knowledge – to record the formation
of an inverted image with a pinhole
or screen.
c. Aristotle (fourth century
BC) comments on pinhole image formation in
his work Problems. d. Sir David Brewster,
a Scottish scientist, was one of the first
to make pinhole photographs, in the 1850s.

How pinholes function. Pinhole glasses (also
known as stenopeic glasses from the Greek words for "little
opening") are not made of glass at all but of an opaque
substance such as metal or plastic. The user looks through
any of the many small holes in the material. These holes
have the effect of reducing the width of the bundle of
diverging rays (called a "pencil of light") coming
from each point on the viewed object. Normally, the full
opening of the pupil admits light. It is the improper bending
of the outermost rays in that pencil of light which causes
refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia (farsightedness),
presbyopia (diminished focusing range with age) and astigmatism
to be noticeable. Pinholes can bring about clearer vision
in all these conditions. By blocking these peripheral rays,
and only letting into the eye those rays which pass through
the central portion of the pupil, any refractive error
in the lens or cornea is not noticed as much. The pupil
may be wide open, but only the central portion is receiving
light. The improvement in visual acuity can be striking.
| Also of interest is that the farther away the
viewed object is, the less the pinholes are noticed.
The honeycomb effect of the holes is more noticeable
when viewing a book held close to the eyes, because
the eyes are focused just a short distance in front
of the glasses. When looking at a distant TV, however,
the holes are hardly visible at all since the eyes
are focused much farther away. Also, because of the
distance, you can view the entire TV screen through
one hole, an obvious benefit. |
Look at this drawing of a myopic eye with a pinhole lens
in front of it. You will see that the eye does not need
to deal with the rays that would need the most bending
since they are blocked by the lens. It is said that Scheiner
first described this effect in 1573. Those who are familiar
with cameras will recognize that this is the same principle
used to increase the depth of focus by decreasing the aperture.
Pinhole cameras also operate by this principle.
Why
did some Govt Depts try to have them Banned
As
we get into our 40's and 50's and presbyopia (inability
to focus close) develops, pinholes provide a simple and
inexpensive solution for reading or other close work.
| “ Minus lenses (glasses) are the most common
approach, yet the least likely to prevent further myopic
progression (nearsightedness). Unfortunately, they increase
the near point stress that is associated with progression. ”
May, 1984. Optometric Extension Program Foundation
|
Bifocals
or trifocals are designed to provide a clear
image only at fixed distances. Pinholes provide
an improved image at ALL distances.
| “The use of compensatory lenses (glasses
and contacts) to treat or neutralize the symptoms does
not
correct the problem. The current education and training
of eye care practitioners discourages preventive and
remedial treatment.”
Gottlieb, 1982. Journal of Optometry and Visual Development
|
In
many applications, such as alternating between watching
TV and reading, they can easily take the place of those
very expensive prescription lenses
Multi-focal
lenses provide a continuously variable curve that is supposed
to give good vision at all distances. In reality, the distortion
on either side of the center line is considerable and often
too great for comfortable use. Pinholes eliminate this
problem.
| "Visual acuity can be improved by visual training..."
“ There is acceptable evidence that in
motivated subjects, even myopes with greater than
two diopters refractive
error, visual acuity can be improved by visual training.”
Sells, et al. Evaluation of Research on Effects of
Visual Training. American Journal of Ophthalmology |
There
is no need to continually throw away old glasses
and buy new, stronger ones. Unless the pinholes
break, they can be used an entire lifetime.

sure the room you are in is well lit but is not in full sunlight.
Test one eye at a time (cover
the other eye with your hand or
card etc.). The lowest line that
you can read correctly is your
visual acuity.
At 20 feet (6 meters) you should
try to read the letters on the
row 6th from the top. If you can
read that line ok it means you
have visual acuity of 20/40 or
better: 1/2 normal.
Standing at 10 feet from the eye
chart if the smallest letters you
can read were on the 6th row from
the top, this would give you an
acuity of 10/40: 1/4 normal.

While
pinholes are considerably cheaper than individual prescription
glasses. For example, a person who is a little nearsighted
but only needs clear distant vision for occasional TV viewing
would find pinholes a cheaper solution than prescription
glasses.
Off-the-rack
reading glasses have the same lens power in each lens.
Some people find these cheap glasses unsuitable because
the refractive error in each eye is not the same. Pinholes
are ideal for such people because these glasses do not
require a similar refractive error in each eye.
| Claims that pinhole glasses can permanently
improve vision are related to claims for the Bates
Method of natural vision improvement. The Bates Method
teaches people to see only one small point clearly
at a time, to quickly scan across an image instead
of staring and seeing the entire image clearly without
moving the eye |
There
is a pincushion effect when looking through the edges of
prescription glasses. That is, straight lines appear curved.
This disturbing effect does not occur with pinholes
| Do your eyes get tired and strained even when you're
wearing your glasses? Simply clip these pinhole glasses
onto your regular glasses. The scientific "pinhole" technique
trains your eyes to focus better, strengthening the
eye muscles. You can read, watch TV or do handwork
with less strain. The tinted lenses also reduce annoying
glare. Wearing pinhole clip-ons just
15 minutes a day may even reduce your need for prescription
eyeglasses. More |
When
you lay prescription glasses down improperly, they can
easily get scratched at the center of the lens, the very
area you have to look through. Scratching pinholes has
no effect on their performance.
Pinholes
do not have to be cleaned of fingerprints and
other marks that affect vision.
Many
parents will not allow their children to use bifocals
to reduce the stress of close work because such glasses
are for "old people."
Pinholes
are an easier thing to accept because they are the same
for all ages.
Many
people who have had corneal surgery find that their night
vision has permanently deteriorated. Glare is a problem.
They see halos and "starbursts" around lights.
Even in normal home lighting they have problems so that
they get in the habit of turning on as many lights as
possible in order to get a small pupil and reduce the
visual problems. Pinholes, either conventional or Snap-ons,
can deliver the same small pupil without increasing the
electric bill.
Physics
instructors from Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich,
Germany, and Kansas State University in the United States
wrote in a 2008 "The Physics Teacher" article
that "modern promoters claim that pinhole glasses
are better than conventional lenses in correcting all kinds
of refractive defects such as myopia (nearsighted), hyperopia
(farsighted), astigmatisms, and presbyopia." Their
investigation of the short-term and long-term effects of
using pinhole glasses showed temporarily corrected sight.
Children
with special needs often use only their peripheral vision,
and pinhole glasses help them concentrate on detail better.
It has been found that the pinhole glasses help improve
acuity and central macular vision..
 USING
YOUR PINHOLE GLASSES
Pinholes are best worn when watching TV or
reading. When reading always make sure adequate
lighting is supplied. As you look through Pinholes
some light is cut out. Pinholes are also excellent
for computer operators. Computer screens tire
and strain eyes rapidly, Pinholes, allow your
eyes to relax.
Your eyes may take a little while to adjust
to Pinholes, but in a short period your eyes
will not notice that they focus through these
tiny holes. That is why watching TV is ideal,
you forget very quickly that you are wearing
them.
Pinholes should be worn for a few hours a
day, or as often as possible.
Never wear your Pinholes when driving or doing
any activity where sideways vision is required.
Do not use as sun glasses. Always make sure your
Pinholes are clean and check no holes are blocked,
it is very important to have complete vision
|
In
cases of retinal separation, unnecessary motion of the
eyeballs should be avoided. This can be accomplished by
blocking all but the central pinholes, forcing the user
to turn the head rather than the eyes.
Many
people with cataracts see better through pinholes.
A cataract is one or more opacities in the lens that
do not allow the light to pass through properly but
instead cause it to scatter. By cutting off the peripheral
rays, pinholes can reduce some of this scattering and
improve
| Some of the vision problems that are said to
be helped by pinhole glasses are : myopia (nearsightedness),
hyperopia (farsightedness), presbyopia, astigmatism,
and computer vision syndrome. These glasses are not
intended for driving and should not be used at those
times. People have reported that they are helpful
in reading, when dimestore readers are not enough
and prescription glasses are too expensive. Also,
it has been reported that pinhole glasses are helpful
for those who do computer work in brightly lit offices.

Stenopeic
(Pinhole) Glasses - The Evidence
by James E. Lebehsohn, M.D. Ph.D., Chicago
Introduction:
Glare protection for eyes dates back to prehistoric time.
Some devices were made of bone, wood or hide, and had slits
in them to protect the eyes from the glare of the sun,
snow or sea water. These were tied round the head with
strips of hide. Today a scientific version of the glare
interceptor, called by the distributor Stenopeic (multiple-pinhole)
spectacles in which 7 rows of pin-holes of specific size
and spacing are placed in a plastic opaque material are
available. These, after much experiment, were found to
be valuable in certain cases of subnormal vision. A few
examples follow of the conditions in which they have been
used successfully.
Pinhole Spectacles

Handbook of Eye Diseases", written by Joseph I.

Complicated Cases
Recently a case was brought to my attention. It involved
a young serviceman whose eyes had been injured by sulfur
dioxide gas. Both corneas had been transplanted and his
vision, uncorrectable with glasses, was 20/400 in each
eye -which meant he was nearly blind.
After studying the case I recommended he be given stenopeic
spectacles. With these, vision was improved to 20/70 and
he could read 9-point type.
A 70 year old stockbroker had a mature cataract in his
left eye and nuclear sclerosis with a small cupuliform
opacity in his right crystalline lens. Stenopeic spectacles,
by removing the disturbing veiling glare, gave him 20/30
distant vision and permitted 4-point type to be read without
difficulty.
Other Complicated Cases
A recent case was most unusual. A 47-year old man had
been disturbed for the past two years by seeing distant
objects doubled through his only good eye. The other was
amblyopic and markedly divergent.
He consulted a qualified ophthalmologist who was puzzled
and referred the patient to me. On refracting his seeing
eye, I found he had excellent correctable vision, but even
with correction he still noted a doubling of the hands
on the large clock across the street and the red dots below
the numbers on the dial. With stenopeic spectacles he was
delighted to see everything sharp and with no doubling.
Excellent Results
A man of 58 had unaided vision of right eye 20/13, left
eye 20/300. A diffuse posterior subcapsular cataract was
present in his left eye. With pinhole spectacles the vision
of this eye was 20/30 though no lens gave any improvement.
An appraiser of 56 had a left mature cataract and a right
incipient cuneiform cataract. The right acuity was 20/40,
unimproved by lenses. He had been wearing pinhole spectacles
successfully for two years, achieving 2030 vision without
veiling glare. He can read 4-point type with a hand magnifier.

A man of 46 had bilateral cataracts. On September 23,
1952, with mydriasis, vision was correctable by glasses
to right 20/30, left 20/20. On August 1, 1953, his vision
with these glasses had diminished to right 20/70, left
20/40. I then recommended pinhole spectacles. With these
his distant acuity was 20/25 in both eyes and he could
read 4-point type.
More Examples of Successful
Applications
There are numerous cases in which pinhole vision far exceeds
that obtainable by lenses. Usually, excellent pinhole vision
is indicative of good operative prognosis, but by utilizing
pinhole devices, the imperative necessity for surgery may
frequently be delayed. In the past five years I have found
the following uses for pinhole spectacles.
1.In irregular astigmatism, conical cornea,
discrete corneal opacities and incipient cataract, the
pinholes often permitted clarity of vision not obtainable
by lenses.
2.As a temporary expedient
the pinholes are valuable for children with
high astigmatism until the become sufficiently
co-operative for objective refraction.
3.As the pinholes help both distant and
near vision they can be used by those who have broken their
glasses while waiting for new lenses.
4.Following cyclopedia, which induces
a temporary paralysis of accommodation, the pinhole provides
protection from glare and compensates for the disturbed
visual acuity.
5.In pathologic photophobia-discomfort
the pinholes frequently reduce light to a comfortable degree
and yet permit effective vision.
6.In cases of retinal separation the motion
of the eyeballs can be controlled adequately by blocking
all but the central pinholes.
7.Used by patients after cataract extraction,
before receiving new glasses, the pinhole spectacles add
an element of protection besides their own advantages.
In none of the cases in which pinhole spectacles were used
have I found any adverse effect, and I feel that in time
acceptance of this aid will increase among the populace.

AS YOU CAN
SEE AMAZING EFFECT EXPERIENCED BY THE WEARERS
IN THE FIRST PLACE
You will see objects clearly through
the pinholes drilled in the lenses. Even those who have
near-sightedness, farisightedness, astigmatism, or amblyopia
can see objects clearly through the small holes. In this
case, the eyeball muscles of the wearer get normalized
by themselves and the focus of the eyeball(the crystalline
lens) is adjusted. The pinholes are small plain holes.

AFTER A SHORT PERIOD
If you look at things without the glasses
after wearing them for about half an hour, you will be
surprised that you can clearly recognize even very small
letters.
AFTER A SHORT TIME
If you persist in wearing these glasses
only a couple of hours a day while reading books or newspapers,
or watching TV, and your eye problems are not hereditary,
you will succeed in your sight-recovering exercise, and
the eyeball muscles and cystalline lenses will be normalized.(You
may not need glasses at all)
How
to exercise your eyes with Pinhole Glasses
| STEP 1. Rotate
your eyes from triangle to triangle in a clockwise
direction, 10 time or more. Then repeat in an anti-clockwise
direction |
STEP 2.
Move your eyes from side to side between the triangles,
10 times or more. This action simulates Rapid Eye movement.
|
STEP 3. Take a magazine
or book. Hold it at arms length and choose one word.
Concentrate on this word and slowly move your arms
towards your eyes as closely as you can focus. Then
slowly move to arms length again, still concentrating
on your chosen word. Repeat 10 times or more.

Voice is a little out of sync
Pinhole glasses do they work?
Pinhole glasses are not for everyone. It is possible that
certain eye conditions are too severe to be helped and
many doctors are reluctant to actually endorse them. However,
there are many, many years of anecdotal evidence and user
testimonies. Some people feel that their vision has even
been improved by using these lenses.Some people claim that
they are helpful in delaying the need for cataract surgery
and it is also suggested that they can slow the progresion
of myopia. While all claims have not been proven at this
point, certainly there is enough user information to help
you decide to try pinhole glasses for yourself.
It is important if you do obtain pinholes
that you give yourself some time to adjust to them. Put
them on, do some yawning, blinking until your brain says.
'This super clear vision is all right'. At this point the
brain stops paying attention to the black occluding plastic
and tunes into the messages coming through the pinholes
Is your Eyesight getting weaker?
When your eyes are placed behind
normal prescription glasses, you fall into a trap where
you no longer use the focusing
muscles in your eyes to the fullest. This important ciliary
muscle begins to weaken, requiring visits to your eye
doctor for stronger and stronger glasses. You can reverse
this downhill slide and help develop your eye muscles. More information |
Pinhole glasses offer a unique approach to vision correction by reducing scattered
light and enhancing focus without traditional lenses. The
effectiveness and comfort of pinhole glasses vary widely,
with bad ones suffering from poor materials and design,
good ones offering reliable performance, and very good
ones excelling in quality, comfort, and functionality.
When choosing pinhole glasses, it is important to consider
these factors to ensure that the glasses provide the intended
visual benefits and can be worn comfortably for extended
periods. For those seeking non-invasive, vision
improvement, These very good pinhole glasses represent
the best option available on the market.
