Pinhole Glasses
Okay, this is the coolest thing I've come across in a while. Pinhole glasses! What are they, never heard of them before, you say? No problem, neither did I until last week.
Basically as the name implies they're glasses with small holes in them, pinhole sized. Why on earth would you want to wear glasses with tiny holes in them, you say!? Simple, because you see better. 
Strange, but totally true.
I had written another version of this blog entry where I went into how they work in more depth, but I'll leave how pinhole glasses work for the link above. I want to focus more on my personal experience with them, this being a blog and all, since I figure most people probably haven't heard about them and are more interested in personal experiences with them. That said, they do work! There's a chart on the site I linked to earlier that gives expected results from using pinholes. According to it, me needing -3.00 prescription lenses I get around 20/40 vision with pinholes. It's absolutely amazing that these cheap glasses, $23, produce such clear vision.
Now the downsides with these are that they block out a lot of light in exchange for clearer vision. I just got them today so I'm still kind of getting used to them, but you'll definitely want to use them in a well-lit area. Another issue is having to look through a matrix of dots. If it weren't for the fact that I get 20/40 vision with them it would be a hassle.
My main reason for wanting to use these is to help restore my vision. As I've mentioned in other entries in this blog I now believe that nearsightedness is the result of excess tension in the eyes and so to see better you need to relax them. Doing a lot of up-close work, like using the computer a lot or reading, requires your eyes to tense up to focus. So if you're nearsighted your eyes are basically stuck and can't relax enough to see well far away. By using pinholes I'm hoping my eyes will be able to relax even while using the computer.
I feel like my eyes are relaxing. It's weird having these things on because I feel like want to take them off to see better! It's almost as if you've been running all the time and all of a sudden you realize you're walking but still traveling at the same speed. You still have the impulse to expend energy and run but, you don't have to. You don't have to work to see. It's weird, but so cool! If you're nearsighted you have to check these out!
