They sell what are called pinhole glasses online (cheapest on ebay) but they are too dark, I don't like them much. But the idea is they help you improve/exercise your eye!

oh so true. our dad used to make us look at moon thru the hole in the needle (the small upper portion where the thread goes in)..... it improves eyesight.Replied By Roslyn (Okc, Ok) on 11/09/2009
Can you be a little for detailed? Do you cover one eye with your hand and then with the eye that is uncovered you look through something the size of a pen hole? I need to excecise my eyes. Thank you,
Roslyn

This works and has been used by Eskimos with their traditional snow goggles with the narrow slit for peering through. You can also buy glasses with black lenses but dotted with pinholes - they work very well and are called pinhole glasses. The results are immediate but they will also improve your vision if worn regularly. I've also seen plastic fashion glasses that are similar to pinhole glasses in teen fashion shops that are less expensive.Replied By Nk (Ny, Ny, Usa) on 02/02/2010
I have same question as Roslyn, do you peer with both eyes @ the same time or you cover one eye with something. Please reply. Thank you.Replied By Mary (Mukilteo, Wa) on 02/27/2010
I have tried looking thru the eye of a needle and cannot make any progress of even seeing thru it at all. Any suggestions? Is there a size of the eye of a needle or will any do?Thank you

If you wear glasses do you peer through the hole with or without glasses?Replied By Saba (Mentor, Oh) on 03/09/2010
I think you do it without your glasses. here is a demo on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjaQKYnx15A

How large can the eye of the needle be to be useful?Replied By Yolanda (Carbondale, Il) on 11/19/2012
You don't want to look through a needle. The object of the exercise is to block out most of the view and just look through a small hole. That way the light hits the back of your eye in one small place. It works. There are glasses you can get for this called pin hole glasses.
