Why does squinting improve my vision?

Yes, actually squinting can improve your vision. Squinting slightly changes the eye's shape, and hence its optical properties. It also forces the light through the center of the lens, which has a more precise focus than the edges. It is a quick method to assess best corrected vision. By looking through a pinhole, the refractive errors of the peripheral cornea and crystalline lens of the eye are significantly reduced or eliminated, and acuity simulates that with proper glasses in place. Squinting is not a long-term solution for improved vision. It markedly constricts the visual field and reduces total illumination.
