I am a myope, and I can squint to focus what normally would be a distance that is beyond my range of focusing. I figure that this is due to the eyeball being deformed, making the profiles of the cornea & lens be less pronounced - or perhaps by shortening the eyeball (which would seem to be the cause behind making the profile of the cornea & lens less pronounced.) But I am wondering how a hyperope also squints to focus at a distance less than the range of focusing, since the action of squinting would seem to make their eye more myopic.
Perhaps squinting is something that can be done in both directions, and as a myope, I have learned to only do it my way, whereas hyperopes learn to do it in the opposite way?
