This is actually a physics question as much as biology. It’s a phenomenon called the “pinhole effect” where only having a small aperture for light to enter lowers the area that that light covers when hitting your retina. This gives the effect of sharpening the image, because image blurriness is a function of the area of light hitting your retina.
