> Despite the fact that the light is originating at 2 cm from the eye, it can appear to originate at 2 km from the eye, in that 2 km is that distance that the eye will have to accommodate to to put that light in focus.

But there's a wall in front of it. How can I perceive an object as 10m away when I'm staring at a wall at 2m away?
