Can you see better if you hold a piece of paper with a dot in it in front of you!
Question: I saw on a tv show a man gave someone a piece of paper with a dot on it and they could see better. Is it True?

Yes it is true.. What is happening is by you looking through that one little dot, its focusing all the light to one area of the macula which enables you to see clearer. The down side is its a pain in the butt to walk around like that. Its a lot easier just to get glasses :-P
We use this test all the time in the office i work at. It lets us see what a patients best corrected vision will be with glasses.
yes and no. in a bright lit area it will cause images to be very clear for you. however in a darkened area you become unable to see well due to diminished light getting to your eyes.
Really myth !
i'm sure they're just illusions.
really, if that would actually work
than everyone who is wearing glasses would just sit and stare.
Even if did work,
it will probably take years and years since looking at a paper will not somehow randomly make your eyesight better.
Maybe they are just doing that so you can waste your time looking at a paper instead of looking at the laptop
And you're too into it that you THINK your eyesight is better
Yes. It is the pinhole effect. By looking only through a pinhole, all of the peripheral light that comes into the eye is blocked, and that is mostly what causes blur. Like the above person said, you cannot do this full-time because your peripheral vision is completely eliminated.
I worked in an Ophthalmologist's office a few years ago and I used to do the pre-exam work-ups on patients and one of the tests we did, after the auto-refractor and using the occluder with the eye chart, we did the pin-hole test and people generally improved by at least a line or two on the chart using the pin-hole test. And it is for the reasons that the person above me, Dr. Greg listed. It cuts out the peripheral light and also as he stated, it would be totally impractical to walk around wearing glasses with the pin-hole in them because you would have no peripheral vision.
