I have been going on for a bit now about pinhole glasses, and how useful they are for not only improving vision naturally, but also the huge savings realized when one does not have to rely on prescription glasses. This post will focus specifically on how pinhole glasses can help those suffering from cataract.
Definition: Cataract is really a clouding of the lens. In a previous post "Pinhole Glasses for Natural Eye Cure" and in the section "How Do They Work" I discussed the lens and the role it plays in helping us to see. Just to recap - Right now as you sit there reading this article the pupil (hole in the center of the iris) is allowing light rays from the computer/phone screen to pass through to your lens. Your lens is focusing these rays (bending them) before allowing them to fall on the retina properly. People who suffer from cataract will find they have difficulty seeing because the lens has become cloudy.

The condition is largely prevalent among the aging population as aging is a major factor, but it can also be triggered by factors such as the drinking of too much caffeinated coffee. Cataract is common among those over 80 years or members of the aging population would have had a surgery for cataract by that age. Before we look at how pinhole glasses can help the condition let us spend a little time understanding cataract a bit more.
