I have been able to do the same thing. I don't know what it is called but it helps to weed out some of the oddities in optical illusions and holograms. Nice to see I am not the only one.
Hey I can too. I can make me sight blurry close or far either way then focus it back to my orginal sight. Yes it is strange I kept asking my friends either they don't understand what I'm saying or they just say they can't do it. Its nice to find there is some one else besides me hahahaa.
No mystery here. If you're looking at something at distance and you focus your eyes as you would for looking at something closer it will throw things out of focus.
