I sit in the back in one of my classes and many times it's hard for me to see what's on the projector and whatnot, therefore I squinch my eyes a little and can see it clearer.
Why is it when people squinch it helps them view things a bit more clearer for a few seconds or so?

It changes the shape of the lens of the eye and helps bring in the focus.

No good answers so far. It is because it blocks out the light that is coming
in from different directions, the directions that you are not focusing on.
Light that comes in from those other directions causes a small amount of
glare, such that squinting is a glare-reduction mechanism.

imagine your eyes as a flashlight. the wider and more open the lens, the dimmer the light. the smaller the lens, the more concentrated the light will be. when you squint your eyes are able to focus more with less distractions from incoming light.

Gives relaxing effect by extra flow of blood to eyes and lids wipe out thin film of fluid tears any dusty material on eyes.Hence better vision.

Light entering the eye, the ability to focus better, and exercising your eye muscles from time to time all have something to do with it.

maybe it is to reduce extraneous light that is blasting off every optic cell? Im not sure, only a possibiliity. With lower vision, you can see contrast better?

I don't know but I did it for years and now I have two wrinkles in between my eyes. So go get your eyes checked asap.

I believe it has to do with blocking out the distractions & light from your peripheral vision.

it helps you to focus better, so you see clearer.

I thinks its just the different point of view.
Maybe you should get glasses.
good day to you.
