+532 You can focus and unfocus your eyes on command, but you don't really know how you're doing it, amirite?

By sending signals through the nerves to the eye, we bend the lens to refract light entering the eye, thus creating an unclear image, or a double image. This is the harder way. An easier way is to control each eyeball independently of the other, and point them in directions so that their focal points coincide on thin air.

Why does no one assume that im just a geek? Ive been reading science books since i was four. I read them aa bedtime stories. If im not a geek i dont know who is. Note that einstein, oppenheimer, etc were geniuses, not geeks

Basically by "focusing" on a point that isn't there, for example "looking through your computer" or looking at the air infront of it

I'm pretty sure at least half the people that read this post tried to unfocus their eyes.

I was literally just doing this today. Focusing from the window to outside back and forth wondering how I was doing it. JUST TODAY. What a weird coincidence.

I was figuratively doing this today.

In a far less scientific description, I noticed that it's just looking at a //distant// object the way you would look at one close by. Put your hand in front of your face; focus on it. Now, without changing your eyes at all, move your hand. Your desk or your screen or whatever is now blurry! Amazing! **#MAGIC**

I can't actually focus and unfocus my eyes on command. (cry2) I didn't even know people can do that until I read this post.

I called it stuffed-animaling when I was like a toddler because everything looked fuzzy like stuffed animals. I read about it in a book later and I felt special. goo
