When an object is far away, the light traveling to one eye is parallel with the light traveling to the other eye. But as an object gets closer, the lines are no longer parallel they converge and our eyes shift to compensate. You can see this effect in action if you try to look at something right in front of your nose you'll attain a lovely cross eyed expression
