Stenop – Glasses for the poor
In case I need glasses – these will be my choice.
Stenop are correcting glasses designed to poor people around the world with vision problems that can’t afford expensive crystal glasses. Glasses are replaced by rows of small holes using the concept of stenopeic vision. These holes have the effect of reducing the width of the bundle of diverging rays coming from each point of the viewed object.
Just central rays reach the retina avoiding focusing errors. Stenop glasses can reduce 80% of myopia, hyperopia and presbyopia. The glasses are plastic made in one single piece and mass produced. They have a very low cost and can be heavily distributed worldwide around kids of poor schools. They are durable and can be done in different colors depending types of skin.

Yes … Im curious, too. This “technology” is also used in photography, besides the classic stenop camera.
You take the front cap of the lens (for instance) and create holes (different sizes, different pattern), and it is said that they create amazing effects, because of the different way the light travels through. Thanks for sharing this.

i really like this joke. good one.
just one question though- do you think that the human eye is static so it can fix itself through one of those holes?…really now…

Hi Mr or Ms X
These glasses do work.
To prove the point to yourself you can make one yourself out of cardboard. Do not trust me, just try yourself.
Just use a pin and make some holes about 4 mm apart like on the picture.
I did try and buy a proper pair for $20
