Modern pinholes have curved lenses of the same clear plastic used for prescription glasses. The pinhole pattern is printed on the back and a mirror coating is added to the front to help hide the pinhole pattern from others. Here are the differences. Look like sunglasses to others. Mirror coating on front causes some light to be lost due to reflection.
Light passes through the holes without being diminished by the lens material.
A pair of traditional pinholes for use at home and a pair of modern pinholes for use in public are the ideal combination. Pinholes can be used as Sunglasses, Computer Glasses, Myopia Prevention Glasses, and by those who suffer from Cataracts or Corneal Damage. Due to the reduced peripheral vision of the lenses, pinhole glasses are intended to be used only when sitting or standing still. They should not be used when moving about or driving a vehicle.
