    Pin Hole Glasses, do they work

    As I get older, i have noticed my eye sight is starting to go, small print is almost becoming impossible to read. A friend of mine recommended that I try pin hole glasses Clear Vision with Pinhole Glasses - Buy Now - Fast Shipping , I am wearing them now as I am typing this. Do they work? Man they are straining my eyes

    Never heard of them before.

    I would say just pick up a cheap pair of reading glasses at your drugstore.

    If you have health insurance...you should get a pair for free.

    I got my prescribed ones about two years ago for the very first time...my reading was beginning to trouble me as well...but now it's all great...and they are designer thin-framed Harley Davidson's.

    On my next pair...I'm going to get Clark Kent type glasses...

    too bad you aren't in this neck of the woods. I was at my local Target all around store and they had a big basket full of reading glasses for a buck a pair.
    My eyes began to betray me for reading purposes after I crossed the 40 line, so I have a few sets of them laying about. They tend to get knocked around a bit and scuffed up since I don't have them on all the time tho. So the one dollar thing was great; I picked up a couple of pairs and now I am set for spares for the next couple of years. - or until my eyes get worse.

    Mmm, I would be asking an optometrist if I were you.

    A buddy of mine from high school was desparately wanting to be an Air Force aviator, but they require perfect vision, so he wore those for a year and never had any improvement. It all worked out in the end. He's currently a LT. Colonel working in the Pentagon.

    I'll ask him what he's doing and he says," I can't talk about that."

    I then ask him where he's at and he says,"I can't talk about that."

    He's into some deep, covert classified stuff.

    Oh, back to topic, pinhole glasses do not work.

    My wife has problems with reading and just buys a few of the cheapie pairs at Wal-Mart or Target and they work fine for her.

    I have heard those pin hole glasses don't work. The other option would be laser surgery.
