To properly use your Ophtalgym pinhole glasses, here's a series of practical tips and simple exercises to strengthen your visual comfort and get the most out of the stenopaeic method.
1 Essential usage tips
⚙️ Fitting & Comfort Adjust your glasses so they are stable. The micro-holes must be perfectly aligned with your gaze for optimal sharpness.
⏳ Progressive adaptation Start with short sessions of 1 to 3 minutes. Increase duration daily based on how you feel. Patience is key.
🎯 Targeted sessions Don't wear them continuously. Favor specific moments: reading, screen work, writing or meditation.
🤝 Complementary approach They integrate perfectly as a complement to regular orthoptic monitoring to maintain eye flexibility.

IMPORTANT SAFETY: Never drive with your pinhole glasses. The stenope reduces peripheral visual field, making driving dangerous.
