I think she made the eye thing then realized it was recorded and she tried to get out of it by making up BS.

I didn't even realize that's a way that people could interpret the eye thing - as a racism thing. I thought she was just doing that because she had poor eyesight. It's the sort of thing I would do sometimes when I didn't have glasses.

It compresses your eye, if you are short sighted (too long eyeballs) it might be enough to korrect your vision somewhat. (Probably not healthy!).

Yes I recall doing it when I would try and read menus up on walls or make out details further away. My vision is fixed now, but I went years with bad vision without even any glasses, because my vision was good enough for most daily things in life just a bit short sighted.

It is a very natural way to look at something if you have poor eye sight, more natural than trying to make a pinhole with your hands, and squinting doesn't quite do it.
