Review Pinhole Eyeglasses

The following is a paid product review on pinhole eyeglasses from Pinhole Glasses Direct.Com.

Website Navigation

I was intrigued when asked to write a website review for the above company. The term “pinhole glasses” conjured up imagines of those “glasses” that came in cereal boxes when I was a kid. My next thought was that it might be similar to pinhole cameras that were made a few generations ago. While the idea behind pinhole glasses may be similar, Pinhole Glasses Direct.Com seems to have taken the pinhole eyeglasses idea to a whole new level.

Design

The website is well designed and easy to navigate. A handy menu is located at eye-level near the top of the website. This easily transports you to the various pages within Pinhole Glasses Direct.Com. Headings and text are clear and easy to read. Graphics are well placed and catch your eye. At a glance you can see that your satisfaction is guaranteed and you notice the free shipping. The layout is consistent and well presented.

Content

Information on the site helps you understand the concept of pinhole glasses. Again, it is well laid out. You will be able to read about how the concept of pinhole glasses originated and has been used. There is information on eye problems such as myopia, astigmatism and other eye issues. Links keep you within the website. The testimonials listed offer compelling arguments for trying the glasses. The site also gives a disclaimer telling you that the glasses are not for use in all occasions.

Functionality

Loading times are quick. Pages are responsive. I noticed no glaring issues when using the site. My pop-up blocker was not triggered while visiting. The site integrates with the credit card processor CCNow for purchasing. This this transition was seamless and the checkout process seemed smooth (as far as I went).

Popularity

A quick Google search for pinhole glasses found Pinhole Glasses Direct.Com to be well placed and on the first search page. A search on Yahoo found similar placement results.

Conclusion

Although I was not familiar with the product when I was originally asked to do the review, I do feel that visiting the website gave me a better understanding. There are a number of other companies out there that sell similar glasses and make similar claims. But really, with a website this good why would you want to buy anywhere else?
