You don't necessarily have to wear glasses all the time - it really depends on how nearsighted you are and what you're doing. If you have mild nearsightedness, you can totally get by without them in everyday life - like when you're reading, working on your computer, or sewing. But for driving, watching movies at the cinema, or working on the board at school, glasses will definitely come in handy. With moderate to severe nearsightedness, it's a different story - it's better to wear them all the time so you don't strain your eyes and can see the world clearly.
I'd recommend going by how you feel and what your ophthalmologist says. The doctor will tell you whether you need glasses all the time or just in certain situations. By the way, constantly straining your eyes because of blurry vision can actually speed up the progression of nearsightedness, so don't ignore correction if your doctor prescribed it.
One more thing - if you work a lot with screens, like I do in my office in front of a mirror while treating clients' skin, or you read a lot, then glasses will help you avoid fatigue and headaches. Try wearing them at least when you feel uncomfortable, and see if you start feeling better.
Not really, it depends on how nearsighted you are - with mild myopia you can get by without them at home, but I definitely wear them when driving or looking at the board in class. You should probably consult with an ophthalmologist though, they'll tell you which situations are critical for you to wear them in.
I have a friend who actually had an eye exam recently, and the doctor explained to her that whether to wear glasses all the time or not is really individual. It depends not only on how nearsighted you are, but also on how you live your life. If you have mild myopia and you mostly stay at home, cook, do household stuff, then you can get by without them. But if you need to read signs on the street, see road signs, recognize people's faces from a distance - then glasses are pretty much essential.
The main thing is not to self-diagnose. I think the first step is to go to an ophthalmologist and get your eyes checked. The doctor will determine how nearsighted you are and give you recommendations specifically for you. Sometimes people with mild myopia only need to wear glasses in certain situations - at work, at the theater, while driving. And sometimes wearing them all the time helps your eyes get less tired.
I actually think that even if the doctor said you can go without glasses, you should still have them with you. That's what I do with my reading glasses - I throw them in my bag and pull them out when I need them. It's convenient and your eyes don't strain as much. The main thing is listen to the specialist, not your friends on the internet, including me.
I agree with what was already written above - it really is individual for everyone. I've got a mild case myself, and at home I get by just fine without glasses, but when I go out for courier work or driving around the city - I definitely put them on, otherwise safety becomes a question mark. The main thing is not to listen to advice on the internet, but to go to an ophthalmologist, they'll take a look and tell you specifically for your vision. Sometimes a doctor recommends wearing them all the time, and sometimes they don't, it depends on the numbers and how you're feeling.
