Pinhole glasses originated in Germany in the 1890s and became fashionable for a while with the well-to-do. During World War One their usage died out. Curiously, they remained popular in Australia and South Africa and in recent years become very popular in the USA. In Britain, opthalmologists and opticians are divided over the value of pinhole glasses.

The improvement in the eye to focus while using pinhole glasses has long been understood (pinhole cameras were the first cameras and the pinhole principle is the basis of certain eye tests).
