What does it mean when you can unfocus your eyes on command

The voters have decided that mmadalynn is right! Vote on the post to say if you agree or disagree.

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

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.

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

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 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'm just setting my render distance to "Tiny".

when I was young I thought it was a magical power that only I had.

Knda like how I am moving my fingers but don't know what is going on... >.>

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.

This CAN’T be just an ADHD thing.

So, this is a thread of a lot of people not citing anything and spreading a confusing lie. Many people can unfocus their eyes on command, some people just find it easier to do than others. The ability to control the focus in your eyes does not mean you have ADHD.

But! There IS a link between ADHD and eye focus… in the opposite direction. In fact, according to this article:

https://www.healthline.com/health/eye-health/can-everyone-unfocus-their-eyes#adhd-and-eyes

ADHD might make it HARDER to control the focus of your eyes, rather than it being an ability ONLY people with ADHD have.

Here’s another article between vision problems, a lack of control over being able to focus ones eyes, and ADHD:

I was going to say, because those 3D illusion things are all about unfocusing your eyes.

Have you ever tried to focus your eyes on something very close, only to realize that they won’t stay focused? This happens because our visual system has a limited field of view.

Vision is the ability to see objects clearly from far away or at great distances. The human eye can detect light waves between 400nm (nanometers) and 700nm. In other words, the range of visible wavelengths is 400nm to 700nm.

Our eyes can focus on things that are closer than 2 meters away. If you look at a book, you’ll notice that it appears blurry until you get closer to it. That’s because the distance between your eyes and the page is greater than 2 meters. When you focus on something too close, your brain automatically adjusts the focal length of your eyes.

When you focus your eyes, they contract and pull together, making your eyeballs move closer to each other. This causes your eyes to look smaller and makes your pupils appear larger.
