Pinhole glasses is a lightweight plastic alternative eyeglasses. The main benefit of pinhole glasses is to improve vision clarity and resolution.

I have serious acquired myopia (short-sighted). I was pretty surprised when I received the glasses as it is extremely light and fashion looking. I put it on and the plastic lenses are sparkling making me like a rock star. There are a lot of holes on the lenses.

I test this pinhole glasses in several ways, which are the reading distance, and different light conditions. As mentioned earlier, I am short sighted. I can’t see things that are too far away. By wearing the pinhole glasses, I can read things which are further than the normal maximum reading distance.

When I was reading at lower light source, the words can still be seen clearly with pinhole glasses. However I love to lie on my bed reading books, and usually there is weak light as the book was not facing the light source. It is hard to read with pinhole glasses in this condition, and I do not encourage that. With this pair of pinhole glasses, I got to read with correct reading position and sufficient light source (as only limited light can pass through the glasses). I also found it hard to read with pinhole glasses when my eyes were too tired. After wearing it for a long time and you take it off, you got to experience honeycomb effect by seeing pinholes without wearing it (just for a while).

This pair of pinhole glasses is suitable for people suffering from myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, astigmatism, computer vision syndrome or cataracts. It is also good for adjusting your reading position as after wearing it for longer period, you will try to sit properly and read things at proper distance and sufficient light source. It is also inexpensive as each pair of glasses is only $14.99.

I tried immune attack.  When I initially installed this game, there was something wrong saying that it can’t find the directory (which look like a registrar number).  So I chose a random directory for it to be installed at.

I am using Windows Vista, and I met all the requirements to play the game smoothly.  However when I started the game, it lagged my laptop (I haven’t experience it for quite a while since I bought this laptop).

The graphics are amazing, and there are nice little explanation that tells you what is what.  There is no instruction page in the game itself telling you the controls.  The top left corner showed your current nanobot speed, your bot health and also the marker of the drone.  Nanobot is the one you see in the screenshot above, whereas drone allows you to see smaller stuff (but you can’t summon it out anytime you want).  The bottom left showed you the map and where the location of the target.  In the screenshot above, the hula-hoop like objects tell you whether you are heading the right direction or not.  If you are on the right direction, they will show green colour (like the ones in the screenshot).

I quit the game after managing to get monocytes through the blood vessels.  The game made me feel dizzy.  It jammed a while when I was trying to exit.  I guess they can increase the speed of the nanobot and drones.  They are just too slow.
