<p>As I write this post, I am wearing a pair of <a href="http://www.pinhole-glasses-direct.com/">Pinhole glasses</a>.  When I first discovered this product, I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen.  A few weeks later, I received my pair of glasses and not only was I skeptical, but I had thought I had time traveled back in time to 1984.  I am fairly sure that I had a similar pair, when I was a kid.  Although I suspect they were for purely aesthetic reasons.</p>
<p>Now, it must be said that I have no problems with my eyesight, with the exception of being a little light sensitive.  I work in a very bright office during the week, and so there are days when I wear sunglasses indoors.  I wasn&#8217;t sure if I was the right person to test this product out.  So I passed them around to various coworkers who have some vision problems.</p>
<p>Out of six people who wore them &#8211; one person loved them, and thought that it actually would help him.  To be fair &#8211; he is the only person who gave them a fair chance.  He wore them the longest, and looked at different things (computer, the newspaper, outside), to see if it would make a difference.</p>
<p>Three out of the six people just couldn&#8217;t get past the appearance of these glasses.  The lens is made of perforated plastic, so you are looking through many dots.  So they weren&#8217;t prepared to really get the experience.  They did report that it didn&#8217;t make their vision any worse &#8211; or cause any other symptoms such as headaches.</p>
<p>Two of the six people, couldn&#8217;t remark on how effective these glasses are, because their vision is so bad &#8211; and these glasses are not for everyone.  So really, they weren&#8217;t fair test subjects.</p>
<p>The last test subject is me.  Here are my findings:</p>
<ul>
<li>These glasses filter out a lot of light.  So in my very bright office, these glasses were quite helpful</li>
<li>I had to slow down my reading speed a tad, just because the glasses are foreign to me, and it took some adjusting.  This is not at all a negative.  Slower reading speed means higher comprehension.  In fact, I accomplished a whole lot more than I usually do, and that is due to wearing these.</li>
<li>When sitting at my computer, changing head position from looking at the screen to looking at a report on my desk, would make me a little dizzy.  So when I had to do a lot of switching back and forth-I just chose to remove the glasses.  But when I am working on just one activity, such as writing this blog post-they work great!</li>
<li>The <a href="http://www.pinhole-glasses-direct.com/alternativeprescriptioneyeglasses.html">pin-hole glasses</a> are not to be worn in a dark environment. Which is why they are perfect in an office setting.  The entire time I wore them, I was headache free &#8211; I am attributing this to the spotted specs.</li>
<li>Definitely image is a lot clearer when wearing them.</li>
<li>It does take quite a while to get used to looking through polka dots.   But once I adapted to the change, I became a lot more focused (vision, brain power, everything).</li>
</ul>
<p>These glasses will reduce peripheral vision, so make sure you do not wear them while driving or operating machinery.<br />
When I started writing this post, I had an unbelievable hang over from lack of sleep.  I have worn these glasses now for almost an hour, and not only is the fogginess completely gone, but my energy has started coming back.  Now, I am not claiming that these glasses will completely combat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, but they have helped with my visual focus.  This is a huge step in the right direction.</p>
