does wearing pinhole glasses do anything good for myopia or any other eye condition- or anything for that matter.

Answered by Richard E. Gans, M. D. (reg@ofcn.org)

Pinhole glasses allow one to see clearly without wearing conventional glasses, but that is all. They have no lasting effect on the eye.

They have no lasting harm and no lasting benefit.
