You know how a magnifying glass can focus light because of its curvature? At the right distance the light focuses. It’s sorta the same concept with your eyes. Your eyes capture light similarly, if the light doesn’t refine enough then it’ll be blurry and unfocused. Squinting is similar to moving the magnifying glass very slightly. You’ll get the light closer to focusing because you’re helping your eye flex a little.
