To use your pinhole glasses properly, here are some practical tips to follow and exercises to try:

Directions for Use

1. Adjusting the glasses: Make sure the glasses fit snugly on your face. They should be comfortable and not slip. The holes should line up in front of your eyes so that you can look straight through them.
2. Start slowly: If you have never used pinhole glasses before, start with simple, short-term activities. Gradually increase the duration of use as you become more comfortable.
3. Avoid driving: Do not wear your pinhole glasses while driving, as they can limit your field of vision.
4. Avoid wearing them all the time: Pinhole glasses should not be worn all the time as they can strain your eyes. Use them for specific activities like reading or drawing.
5. Be patient: Pinhole glasses can take some time to get used to. Give your eyes time to adjust.
6. Use as a complement: These glasses can be used as a complement to other vision corrections, if recommended by your eye care professional.

By following these tips, you can maximize the benefits of your pinhole glasses and improve your visual acuity in specific situations.

Practical Exercises

Pinhole glasses can be used to perform a variety of visual training exercises. Here are some examples:

• Object tracking: Place an object (like a pen) at a distance and try to follow it with your eyes. This helps improve eye coordination.
• Horizontal Sweep: Draw horizontal lines on paper. Gently move your eyes along the lines while wearing your glasses.
• Vertical Scan: Draw vertical lines and follow them with your eyes while wearing your glasses.
• Reading words: Take a text with spaced words and read it out loud while wearing your glasses. Holes can improve sharpness.
• Peripheral Vision: Observe objects in your peripheral field of vision while wearing your glasses.
• Convergence exercises: Hold an object in front of you and slowly bring it closer to your nose. Then, slowly move it away.
• Ball Game: Throw a small ball from hand to hand while following it with your eyes through your glasses.
