Do a search for 'pinhole glasses' on your favorite search engine to get information on a strange idea which I discovered myself quite by accident; turns out many other people had the same idea. The glasses I use, however, are quite different from those I see advertised; they are simply a pair of sunglasses from the Dollar Store with a 1/64" hole drilled in each lens, at the right pupillary distance for my eyes. They work well whether scratched or dirty, and the price is hard to beat. My wife, who is farsighted, says they work OK for reading too (but she wasn't too enthusiastic).
