	Valley of the Squinting Windows - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Valley of the Squinting Windows was a novel by Brinsley MacNamara which was set in the village of Delvin, County Westmeath, Ireland.
		The novel itself never stated that it was set in Delvin, - it was set in "Garradrimna" a fictitious town - and McNamara insisted it could have been any village in Ireland, but the geographical details in the novel set it firmly in the village.
		The term "valley of the squinting windows" has become a colloquial term, particularly in Ireland, for a society obsessed with providing neighbours and peers with a good perception of one's own personal matters.

	Fresia Studios: A Method of Painting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Squinting enables us to see everything at once so that we can see what the relationships among darks and lights - or values - really are.
		If we squint enough, we will be able to see just values when we are out of doors.
		In fact, an accomplished artist would be able to stand outside and look at what is in Figure 1 and see what is in Figure 4; that is, a nice simplification of just three values: darks, middles and lights, with the light being the sky.

	CCMR - Ask A Scientist!
		By squinting people are actually changing the shape of their eye, just ever so little, so that the light focuses correctly on the retina.
		When a lens is misshapen (due to age, damage or genetics) the light that passes through the lens is deflected incorrectly and misses the focal point; the farther the light rays are from the center of the lens, the more they are deviated from the focal point.
		So, that means that squinting works by two mechanisms – by both changing the shape of the eye and by letting in light that can be focused more precisely by the lens.

	Re: How does squinting defeat anonymity masking on television?
		By squinting, you are blurring, or filtering, the image so that the blocked area gets smoothed some and the more detailed areas not blocked are blurred some - actually bringing the scales of the two areas closer together.
		When this happens, it is easier for your brain to integrate all of the contextual information and create a more vivid mental image of the blocked area.
		Squinting your eyes also performs a similar low-pass filter operation.
