Pinhole Glasses

I wear glasses and have been since I was 10 years old. Initially, I was nearsighted ..but as my age caught up, I couldn't read the prints on the newspaper! I need reading glasses now and I'm JUST 42! People like my Dad needs reading glasses, right?! But as my ego (actually, my pocket!)would have nothing of that sort, I just resorted to reading news on the internet! Hah!

Then I found out about this "pinhole glasses"...theoretically it sounds good. I ordered them and just received it today from www.pinhole-glasses.com . Where else would you get them, right! Mine came with the black "Ray Ban" frames. I wonder if they have something more fashionable, or maybe if we could customize the design to fit more contemporary frames.

Anyway, these Pinhole Eyeglasses have some explanations on how these eyeglasses work here.
The explanations are very clear with little scientific jargons, except the occassional "cornea", "pupil" and etc, words that most of us would understand...well maybe not the "myopia", "hyperopia" but hey, that's when the good 'ol dictionary comes handy, eh!

To cut the story short, I was really surprised when I first tried it on! I could see BOTH near and far objects CLEARLY with those eyeglasses! I even let my grandmother of 99 years old try it on and she said she could see things clearly. But one thing for sure, she sure looks cool with those glasses ! Then everyone in the house wanted to give it a try! My missus tried in on, then all my 4 kids...then family members whom I didn't even know they had eye problems, want to try it out too! Now I know who are supposed to be the "specky" guys and gals in the family, but are too "proud" to admit or to wear one! Hah! Gotcha!
