Thats a good start. Now he should move on to adjusting the sizes of other things on demand and start teaching it online...

#142This is a random tangent, but if are visually impaired and you look through a pinhole in your hand, you can see clearly!

Came here to say this as well, I can change mine without moving when looking in a mirror - to me it "feels" like I'm focusing my eyes on something that isn't there.
Same here. I used this to impress my friends in primary school. I couldn't find another use for it though.
I can also blur my eyes deliberately and I sometimes use it to get a better idea of the gestalt aesthetics during drawing or graphics design work.

#144A quick search online brings up multiple articles dating back a few years with examples of the same thing. It's not "an impossible feat". https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20160229-the-sea-nomad-ch...
if a hundred people on a population of 8 billion can do it, on command, at will, immediately, it's an impossible feat.
It's not the act of changing the pupil size that's the impossible feat, it's the "doing it instantly, on command" part that's the impossible feat. Even if lots of people can change their pupil size, virtually no one can with the snap of their fingers.

If it takes time and is not wholly reliable, it sounds like you might be using one of the "indirect methods" they mentioned in the article.
I can change the focal point of my eyes on command to a far away point or a close one, and I have noticed that this reliably makes my pupil get slightly larger or smaller.
I recently discovered / figured this out as well, while practicing meditation. I have found it's a great way to relax my eyes periodically while staring at a screen.
Still can't move my eyebrows independently though.

#146Since sedatives dilate and stimulants constrict, I just imagine various trips Ive been on to change pupil size.

#147I am the only person I know in my group of friends who can change the focus of my eyes independently of the distance of the object I’m looking at. In other words, I can make vision go blurry (wide eyes open) without it going double.

I can do this too, but never thought to ask if anyone else could. How rare are we talking about?

I can do it just fine. I think most people can.

Yeah. I've been able to do this for years. Not immediately, but with some concentration and focus when standing in front of a mirror. Works probably 75-80% of the time. So, "impossible feat"... how would they even think that?

Nope. They only thing I focus on when doing that is changing the pupil size.
