| Feb 27, 2015 at 20:19 | comment | added | Steve Jessop | I do this by folding down my index finger, making a small hole between the pad of my finger and the fold in the skin at the base of the same finger. Unfortunately the field of view is too small to do the one thing I most commonly need some help with, which is to find my %&^$ing glasses. | |

I find that using your hand like a telescope works quite well too - holding the thumb/forefinger to your eye and making a small hole with your little finger. This has the benefit of blocking a lot of light coming into the eye and dilating the pupil. Also see newscientist.com/blog/lastword/2007/05/cheap-specs.html | |
