Answers:
If as a kid you were teased for wearing glasses you did not hang with the cool kids, and they called you a nerd!. So by being ostracised you go somewhere that you won't get teased and made fun of and you glasses stolen and passed around like a toy or football!. So you tended to end up in the library!. Now those kids who would do that to you would never go into the library, because they were outside trying to find kids to tease and bully!. They would never be seen in the library as that was not cool, so if in a library avoiding the bullies you ended up reading to pass the time!. So you learnt things on your own and became more proficient in logical thinking skills at a younger age!. So in effect having glasses leads to having more smart people than the other way around!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Regular close eye work predisposes people to needing glasses!. Doing things quite close to the face such as reading, watching television or doing computer work, are stressful to the cillary muscles of the eye!.

When you focus on something close to you, the lens must be made thicker by the cillary muscles!. Prolonged close focus can be quite stressful to the muscles!. Over time they become shorter, keeping the lens thicker!. When you come to look at something far away, the muscles cannot stretch the lens thin enough, so distant objects seem blurry!. This is myopia!.

It has nothing to do with intelligence!. Some people are naturally predisposed to weaker eye muscles and may develop myopia before they can even read!. But those of high intelligence generally spend much longer doing close work such as reading and using computers thus are at higher risk of needing glasses!. It's important to take regular breaks when reading or using computers so you do not strain your eyes!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

well!.!.!. i'm smart, staight A student, IQ of 120 and a year ago i didnt wear glasses but now i do!. I think it is because of reading too much because it stresses your eyes out!. But alot of people wear glasses cuz of too much tv or staring at the computer for too long of a time!. some people even wear it cuz they think its fashionable!.

However, wearing glasses does not neccesarly make you smart and if you are smart it doesnt mean you need glasses!. some smart people have perfect vision- and they read a lot too-- i think it heredity so yeahWww@Answer-Health@Com

I wear glasses and I don't read too much and I certainly was not one of the straight A students!. I don't need glasses for reading because I can read close up perfectly fine without my glasses!. But everything 14 inches away from my face is a complete blur!. Chances are that most people in your course are near-sighted like me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
