papageorge1 Posted May 31, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) I've believed that correlation since I was a kid. And I have always been one to believe in general that genetics plays a much greater role than what the average person thinks in regards to traits and personality. This will often put me at odds with the more equalitarian views prevalent in the early 21st century's version of political correctness.

Waspie_Dwarf Posted May 31, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 31, 2018 As soon as I take my glasses off I find it much harder to read, so it must be true. 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted May 31, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I can't see anything but fuzzy blobs without my glasses....and I'm smart enough to know that the world is not one big fuzzy blob. I keep my glasses on unless I'm asleep or showering. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DieChecker Posted June 1, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 1, 2018 As a glasses owner (I don't always wear them, except when driving and at the theater), I also am in favor of the conclusion of this study... Now... To read the dang thing. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdyer Posted June 1, 2018 #10 Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) I also have worn glasses since I was 2 years old. All of the people that are 20/200 must be geniuses! My grand daughters must be smart as well. They have my son-in-law's vision issues and he's no dummy. He married my daughter!

psyche101 Posted June 13, 2018 #13 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I was thinking that macular degeneration tends to force most people into glasses when they pass 40, so it seems this could be experience/wisdom related? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummmm... the larger brain pressing on the optic nerve, pressing on the back of the eye and thus distorting the retina...

+ouija ouija Posted June 17, 2018 #16 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I have seven pairs of glasses scattered around my home(and greenhouse!); each has a different use. I must be absolutely off the scale of smartiness! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends. I can see about 20 foot no problem. Anything past that is 'drunk vision'. So I think I'd be fine. Just don't let me drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds logical. Its not the problem itself, more so that its common after 40 when most people have seen a lot of life and have attained a certain level of wisdom though experience. That just seems more logical than the basic correlation of glasses=smarter. Edited June 19, 2018 by psyche101 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds logical. You are making the assumption that larger brain = more intellgence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
