Can anyone else make there eyes blurry at will?

I'm 14 years old and ever since I remember I have been able to make my eye sight 20/20 and go completely blurry at will and every time I tell my parents they think it's because of my amnesia, is it? Or does anyone else have the same thing and what is it called? BTW I also have a lazy eye in my right eye.

Possibly.  Give him or her some time and follow-through, of course.   But really, first we have to think about what 'amnesia' means.  The choice of the words 'amnesia' or 'lazy eye' is not just a slip of the finger on the keyboard.  

Critical thinking is involved.  As a librarian, can you influence the curriculum?

Yes researching the difference between "amblyopia" and "amnesia" would be a start.

-- BTW, I am a middle school librarian.  Few kids would delve this deep for an answer.  He has some research chops.

Aaaaack!  (Pounds head against wall). What is behind this apparently endless, semi-mystical fascination with a normal ability?  I really am curious.

Hey dude:  No this is not unique or abnormal and their are a number of posts in the past few years of people that are aware of their ability to do this. Eye doctors call focusing for near vision like reading "accommodation"  when this happens the brain also sends messages to the eyes that move the eyes to turn towards the nose which is called convergence and is what we do when we read or look at our iPads and smartphones.

So its a normal part of the things our eyes can do. Some people don't learn how to do this but most everyone that has tried to make their eyes cross knows how to do it.

BTW I have no idea why you should have "amnesia" as that means abnormal loss of memory.
