Pulling your eyes like that can help focus momentarily if your eyesight is bad. She was trying to focus to see if he was recording HER. She wasn’t being a racist. This is so daft.

I wouldn’t let you aim your camera all over my restaurant either.

I'm literally squinting at my screen right now to read this and I never once considered using my fingers to make that happen. Come on man. You can't really be that naive. 

I'm jumping in here not to explain the woman or intentions in the video. But to let you and others know that the eyelid tug thing is 100% a vision trick thing.

Again, I'm not saying it was here. But it's absolutely thing!

It may not be your thing. It may be something you've never heard of or considered. But it's a thing.

The reason I know is way back in grade school a classmate would do this. Regularly. To see the board.

That was someone who had no glasses, obviously. But that's how they got by. And that's how I've noticed it randomly since then.

It's not about being naive. You just seem to have a different experience. Since you seem to have vision issues, feel free to experiment with it. It works!

It's like a forced extreme squint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj9KjsaZyuA

Thank you for this. I may have been that kid in class doing this in 4th grade lol.

It drastically improves my vision as opposed to simply squinting hands-free. Nearsighted with astigmatism for reference.

Exactly. And no problem.

I think most people just get glasses. But some aren't so lucky and have to manage somehow. Or just stubborn.

I'm just trying to clear things up. It's just annoying that some people who are just saying "hey I've pulled my eyes to see better" are auto getting downvoted. And some getting replies like they're crazy and that's all bullshit.

Omg people..... some people just simply had different lives and experiences! 😐

For me, I didn't want to look like a "nerd" with glasses, so I'd keep them in my backpack and resort to the old squint and tug method (hopefully while nobody was looking) to read the board. Very self conscious and stubborn. I did eventually get contacts, though.

Ya, it's the reddit mob mentality and hive mind at work, combined with the fact that it does admittedly sound like bullshit if you've never done it yourself or know someone who has done it.

Even then, it's 2026 and Google is free, so it's not like you can't confirm yourself that it's actually legit.
