Hi, for the past two days i've noticed that my lazy eye is very noticeable. will wearing my glasses all the time fix this? haven't worn them much

Depends: A 'lazy' eye is one with diminished vision compared to the other eye. There is a tendency for drift out of position with this; and this can increase with inattention and fatigue. Glasses can provide a cosmetic cover up and sometimes prisms can also help. The glasses will not fix the condition. If the drift is so great others notice it, then your ophthalmologist can straighten it.
