Do you want to reduce eye strain, improve your daily vision, and try a natural, simple, and contact lens-free method? This guide will help you choose the Ophtalgym model best suited to your needs, pace, and environment.
1. Understanding the pinhole camera method
Pinhole glasses are based on the pinhole principle: tiny holes that precisely control the passage of light. By limiting stray light, they help your eyes see more clearly and work more comfortably. They are not a substitute for corrective lenses, but they are a natural eye training tool, useful for:
- reduce screen-related fatigue,
- improve sharpness during reading or precise work,
- to relax the eye muscles after long viewing sessions.
That is why this guide does not just offer you a product, but a choice according to your context and objectives.
2. Who are pinhole glasses intended for?
Almost anyone who spends time looking up close or focusing their eyes can benefit from it. For example:
- Working on a computer or prolonged screen
- Intensive reading, writing, study
- Precision activities: sewing, DIY, drawing
- Walks, observation, quiet outdoor activities
- People wanting a natural, non-invasive tool that can be used at home
They are less suitable when maximum peripheral vision is required, or in very low light conditions. For example, driving with these glasses should be avoided.
3. How to choose your Ophtalgym model?
Here are two typical scenarios:
a) You are a beginner or mainly use a pair for yourself
The simplest solution is a single pair , sufficient to test the method, practice a little each day, or use it while reading or on screen after a long day.
Benefits :
- Lower price, easy entry into the market
- Personal use in one location only
- Discreet format and quick to test
b) You know you will use it regularly, or you live/work in two places
The duo pack provides more comfort on a daily basis: one pair at home, another at the office, or one pair for you, the other for a loved one.
Benefits :
- Two practice spots, so less chance of forgetting
- Easy sharing with a friend or colleague
- Encouragement to hold regular sessions
The choice therefore depends on your frequency of use, your family or professional situation, and your initial budget.

5. Mistakes to avoid before buying
- Thinking that these glasses replace medical correction is a mistake. They are complementary.
- Don't wear it for too long from the start. Begin with short sessions.
- Use in activities requiring peripheral vision or for driving.
- Leaving them on a desk, instead of having a pair in every place you frequent.
6. Quick FAQ
1) Will I see better immediately?
Yes, you often notice increased sharpness from the first use. But the real benefit comes from regular and progressive practice.
2) How much time per day?
Start with a few minutes a day, then increase to 15–30 minutes depending on your comfort level. The idea is not to push yourself, but to train gently.
3) Can I use them several times a day?
Absolutely. Short sessions spread throughout the day are often more comfortable than one long session.
4) Is it dangerous if I use them tomorrow morning?
No, they are designed for natural and gradual use. Just immediately avoid any activities that pose a risk to your vision, such as driving.
5) What if my vision is less clear afterwards?
If you experience any discomfort, reduce the duration. The goal is to feel a slight exercise in the eye muscles, not pain or significant fatigue.
