Glasses

When I relax my eyes I can’t see the board or my work. I am worried I am going to have to wear glasses all the time. What should I do?

You probably need to get glasses. But you don’t have to wear glasses all the time you can opt in for contacts. Also there’s the option for laser eye surgery but that’s for probs in the future if you wanted it. I suggest you should go to your optometrist for a test

You should get your eyes checked. It might be only a temporary spasm.
Even if you will need glasses it doesn't mean you'll need them all the time.

It has been like this for a while and when I relax my eyes everything goes really blurry

from my experience it is probably something that's been there since your childhood and has been untreated because children's eyes can compensate a lot of effort and now it is starting to be harder so when you don't strain your eyes everything is blurry. Possibly that wearing glasses for certain activities will help your eyes relax and you will see much better even without glasses for the rest of the activities because your eyes will be rested and not tired.

Anyways, it all should be tested, can't say anything exact without an eye exam.

not a huge, yet pretty noticeable correction.
You will get used to it, if you wear them all the time you will get used to it faster. One downside of it is when you are not wearing glasses (or wearing contacts for example) you will still move your head when looking to the sides instead of just moving your eyes.

I have noticed the sides of my frames disappear today and I’m used to it now but the only problem I have is wearing them to school
