I can blur my eyes.

[twinkleeyes]

Hello I am a 23 yr old female and I finally decided to poke around and see if I could figure out if what I can do with my eyes is natural.
A little history. I was born with a "lazy eye" as they call it. When I was little 4,5 and 6 yrs old I wore bifocals and from time to time I had to wear a patch. I do remeber wearing the patch on my right eye, which leads me to believe my left eye was the "lazy" one. But now a days when Im tired or on my one I can cross my left eye while leaving my left one straight.
But what I ponder is...I can blur my eyes on command. It's not something that happens on it's own. it's something I can make happen. Very simple...clear, blurry, clear, blurry, clear. just a quick as you can read this I can blur and clear my eyes (blurry to the point that I can't read 2 inch type 6ft away). I've been able to do this ever since I was a little girl, but never mentioned it, because I assumed it was normal.
I also do not have to wear correctine lenses anymore, I haven't had to since I was 6 yrs old, and I had a minor eye exam roughly 2 weeks ago, and I can read very very small type. Oh but I don't have any depth perception.

Could someone please tell me if it's a condition, a natural thing in some people, and maybe a name for it?

I would greatly appreciate it.

It is puzzling why there are so many posts on this, its not a big deal, most people can blur their vision I suspect. Most on this site are concerned with remedying their blurry vision they don't wish to have. I haven't bothered reading through these, but I do note a few posts back some comments on "chakras" and "auras", which are unscientific nonsense backed by no remotely credible evidence (if you find anyone claiming to be a "scientist" who falls for the stuff they are in a tiny minority of those with poor evidence evaluation skills, not every scientist is good at their job, or knowing frauds trying to make money off scamming the gullible into buying their books or treatments, and some publications will print any paper no matter how badly done).
