Q. If I wear conventional prescription glasses after wearing pinholes, will I undo the benefits?
A. No. Pinhole glasses are not an alternative to conventional prescription glasses, they are exercise glasses. Eye exercise, like any form of exercise, does not need to be carried on all day long for you to get the benefits.

Q. Can I stop wearing my pinholes when my eye sight has improved?
A. Yes, but as for any exercise, the benefits wear off if you stop. However, once your eyes are fit, less frequent exercise will still maintain them.

Q. Will I have to change my prescription as my eyesight improves?
A. Not necessarily. Pinhole glasses help your eyes become more flexible. If, after several months of use, your eyesight has improved, visit your optician and see how you are doing.

Q. Can wearing pinhole glasses damage my eyes?
A. No. Pinhole glasses simply allow your brain to more easily decide how to focus. The worst you can do is to make your eyes tired by giving them too much exercise. Reduce the amount of time you spend each day exercising your eyes.

Q. I am short-sighted and my pinholes seem to make no difference.
A. Very often, short-sighted people have grown used to wearing conventional glasses because their condition has existed from an early age. If you are short-sighted, when you try out pinholes you may be comparing their effect with your sight when wearing conventional glasses. Instead, you need to compare wearing pinholes against wearing no glasses at all - now do you see the effect?
