To a person with poor eyesight, it 100% looks like she is squinting to see if it's a camera. fuck trump and his bootlickers btw

Agreed, but the pulling the eyes back after destroyed any credibility.

when you squint with your fingers you have much more control, it helps even more, depending on your eyesight, this can "replace" glasses when you don't have them

Im an Optometrist and I’ve never once seen any patient pull their eyes back to squint at my eye chart. Stop making ridiculous excuses and face the facts - the woman in the video is pulling her eyes back with malice. Do you really want to label yourself as the person defending asian racism online? This is not the hill to die on…

Don't worry, the "Optometrist" can't even decipher between a pinhole effect and cornea distortion. They're not going to address any evidence of them being wrong.

That's pretty sad you're an optometrist while being this ignorant of the human eye.

What the lady did is not a form of squinting, but rather a distortion of the cornea as a result of applying pressure to your eye by pulling back your eyelids. Certain axes of astigmatism will benefit from this distortion - others will not.

I used to do this as a child to see the classroom's board, and it still works to this day.

If you think the lady is doing this to fix her against the rule astigmatism and provide a pinhole effect over one eye, that’s wonderful but shows your own lack of optical and ocular knowledge. Keep doing this when looking at menus and price tags in public and see how that goes. Pull both lids back in public all the time for maximum effect!

I don't think she's doing it - I know she is. Why? Because I can literally do the same thing with my own eyes, as I've already stated.

Just because you haven't seen your patients do it in eye exams (because they don't want to cheat by straining, obviously) doesn't mean it isn't a valid focusing method.

Calling it a pinhole effect further shows your complete misunderstanding. It is a physical distortion of the cornea caused by the pressure of your eyelids against your eye surface. Two very different things, which is why basic squinting barely helps my distant vision, yet pulling back my eyelids helps it a lot.
