You could make “glasses” out of wood or bone with thin slits using the same idea

Not that useful in scenarios except for reading: if you curl your hands in front of your eye and leave a very tiny opening you can create a pinhole that’ll make a tiny bit of your view in focus

Neat! I have really strong vision, but know how to force them out of focus. It’s weird not being able to blur my vision when I’m doing this.

I do much the same, make a tube out of my hands like I’m using a monocular. Works!

Been using this trick to read my alarm clock since I was ten!
