  "term": "Stenopaeic",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "Relating to a small aperture or pinhole used to improve visual acuity by reducing the effects of refractive errors. A stenopaeic slit or pinhole restricts the light entering the eye to a narrow pencil of rays, thereby increasing the depth of field and minimizing blur from uncorrected vision. This principle is applied in pinhole glasses or diagnostic tools for ophthalmology.",
