June often marks a return to routine — and with it, the realisation that eye fatigue has well and truly settled in: hours of screen time, artificial light, nights that are too short. Ophtalgym pinhole glasses are designed precisely to support this return to everyday visual comfort. A few minutes of regular wear are enough to retrain focusing, ease tension in the eyes and find a more relaxed gaze. But when browsing our range, one question often comes up: should you start with the glasses on their own, or go straight for a pinhole glasses pack? This comparison guide helps you identify your profile and choose with confidence.
Ophtalgym glasses on their own: who are they for?
The shop's founding product is the pair of Ophtalgym pinhole glasses with its exercise booklet, available for €50. It's the ideal way in to discover the pinhole effect and build a first personal routine, without overcommitting.
This choice is for you if:
- You're discovering pinhole glasses for the first time and want to try before going further
- You're looking for a compact accessory that slips easily into a work or travel bag
- You already practise eye yoga and want a quality tool to structure your exercises
- You'd like to give one person an introduction to visual wellbeing
The booklet included is a real plus: it offers a progressive programme, posture reminders and practical tips to get the most out of your sessions from day one. To understand the mechanism that makes these glasses so effective, you can also understand the pinhole effect in detail in our dedicated article.

The Duo Pack: sharing the practice
The pinhole glasses Duo Pack brings together two pairs of Ophtalgym pinhole glasses for €95 — a €5 saving compared with buying two pairs separately. It's the option designed for those who want to make it a shared daily practice.
This pack is ideal for:
- Couples who want to share a wellbeing routine in the morning or evening
- Parents who want to practise with a teenager (with a doctor's opinion first for under-18s)
- Health professionals or wellbeing coaches starting to support someone
- Anyone who wants one pair at home and another at the office, without carrying their kit around
The duo also has a very practical advantage: everyone keeps their own pair, their own pace, their own progress. The practice becomes a shared moment — a simple habit that takes root far more easily when it's lived as a pair.
The dodecahedron packs: visual wellbeing and sacred geometry
This is the most distinctive range in the catalogue. Dodecahedrons are geometric solids — inspired by sacred geometry — designed as supports for dynamic focusing. By looking at them and moving them through space at different distances, you actively train the flexibility of your eyes' focusing. Combined with Ophtalgym pinhole glasses, they add both a visual and a meditative dimension to your session.
Classic dodecahedron pack — €78
This pinhole glasses pack with classic dodecahedrons is an accessible introduction to this complementary practice. It's aimed at people curious about holistic approaches who want to vary their eye exercises without going beyond a reasonable budget. A very good first step into the world of geometric solids.

Premium dodecahedron pack — €125
For those committing to a long-term practice, the premium dodecahedron pack — at €125 (a €5 saving compared with buying separately) — offers refined finishes and higher-quality materials. It's the choice of regular practitioners, and an original, useful gift for anyone who takes their visual comfort seriously.

These packs fit naturally into a daily routine with Ophtalgym pinhole glasses. The eye yoga routine guides you step by step to combine both tools in just 15 minutes.
How to choose according to your profile
To make your decision easier, here's a summary by profile:
- You're just starting out and want to try the practice → Ophtalgym pinhole glasses + booklet (€50)
- You practise as a pair or need two pairs → Pinhole glasses Duo Pack (€95)
- You're curious about sacred geometry and holistic tools → Classic dodecahedron pack (€78)
- You want a complete, lasting, premium practice → Premium dodecahedron pack (€125)
Whatever your starting point, the rule is the same: begin with short sessions (5 to 10 minutes a day), build up gradually as you feel comfortable, and favour regularity over intensity. A quarter of an hour every day is worth far more than one long session a week.

Frequently asked questions
Do Ophtalgym pinhole glasses improve your eyesight?
Ophtalgym pinhole glasses do not correct eyesight and do not treat any eye condition. They are designed to ease eye fatigue, keep your focusing supple and complement good eye care habits. For any question about your vision, an eye examination remains the reference.
What's the difference between the classic pinhole glasses pack and the premium pack?
The classic pinhole glasses pack with dodecahedrons (€78) is an accessible introduction to dynamic focusing practice. The premium pack (€125) stands out for its higher-quality materials and more refined finishes, designed for long-term daily practice.
How long should you wear Ophtalgym glasses per session?
It's best to start with 5 to 10 minutes a day, then build up gradually according to how you feel. Regularity matters more than duration: a short daily session gives better results than an occasional long one.
Is the Duo Pack suitable for teenagers?
The Duo Pack is designed for adults practising as a pair. For under-18s, an eye doctor's opinion is essential before any use of Ophtalgym pinhole glasses. This professional will be able to assess whether the practice suits your child's age and visual profile.
Do you need a prescription to buy Ophtalgym glasses?
No, Ophtalgym pinhole glasses are visual wellbeing accessories available without a prescription. You can order them directly from our shop at any time and receive them within a few days.
