1) Will pinhole glasses really improve my vision?
If you have a refractive eye disorder of less than 6 diopters, suffer from presbyopia (age-related eye deterioration), or computer vision syndrome, then the answer is undoubtedly YES. The minute pinhole apertures on the pinhole glass lenses, reduce the blur circle on your retina, so allow you to see more clearly. However, if you suffer from a refractive eye disorder of more than 6 diopters, then pinhole glasses may not work for you - see question 5)

2) What activities can I use pinhole glasses for?
You can use pinhole glasses for most activities where you are stationary, such as reading, writing, using a computer, watching TV, watching a theatre performance or reading notes of a school blackboard. Pinhole glasses are not recommended for activities where you are in motion, such as driving, as your periphery vision is severely curtailed.

3) Can I where pinhole glasses whilst driving?
No - you must never where pinhole glasses whilst driving as your periphery (side) vision is very limited, because pinhole glasses are designed to let only direct light rays through into your eyes.

4) Are pinhole glasses suitable for children?
Yes - pinhole glasses are ideal for children, especially those who are diagnosed with myopia. See our section on acquired myopia for further details.

5) My doctor says I have a refractive disorder of 6 diopters - will pinhole glasses work for me?
Not everyone with a refractive disorder of 6 diopters or more will find pinhole glasses practical, as problems with light diffraction and honeycomb vision become more prevalent to the point that they may outweigh the advantages. See our section on the science of pinhole glasses.

6) If my pinhole glasses arrive damaged what should I do?
We guarantee our pinhole glasses against defects. If your glasses arrive damaged then simply return them and we will send you a replacement pair ASAP.

7) What are the shipping costs?
Shipping costs are additional to the advertised product price at $5 per pair.

8) How long will it take for my glasses to arrive?
We ship world-wide and dispatch goods within 48 hours of order receipt. Depending upon your location it should take between 2-5 working days.

9) What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept credit card & electronic check payments only through our webform at time of order.

10) Do the glasses come with a guarantee?
We guarantee the glasses against any defects. If you receive a pair of defect pinhole glasses please return the package to us and we will replace them free of charge with a brand new pair.
