Why even with only one eye open, and therefore no depth perception, do we still have to focus on objects near and far?

What happens in each eye individually when you cross them that makes them focus closer if it isn’t just simply two converging images?

Eye focus has nothing to do with the number of eyes, and each eye must focus separately. In your eye there is a panel of photoreceptors. These are what the image must form on for you to see it. Nearer objects form images farther back, and farther objects form objects farther forward. Since the inside of our eye can’t move, we change the shape of our eye lens to shift the projected image forward and back so that it lands on our photoreceptors. This is focusing.
