Where does the stereotype that people who wear glasses are smart and intelligent come from, or that smart people (e.g. in films) wear glasses?

Blue light?
Does blue light really harm the eyes? Or is it only important for fatigue (cortisol/melatonin)?
Glasses wearers in the Bundeswehr?
Hello, I'm joining the army soon and I wear glasses. Now my question, preferably for people who wear glasses as well: How do you handle it in the field? I imagine it's like this: maneuvers, everything in the dirt, completely covered in mud, and your glasses are completely ruined. Cover underwater, etc. I, for example,…

Glasses don't fit after a thousand tries?
Hello dear community, I've been having problems with my glasses for half a year. I have approximately -4.50 diopters and -1.25 astigmatism. After several new pairs of glasses and a visit to the ophthalmologist, I found another private optician who was much more professional. I had glasses made with a blue filter and anti-reflective coating,…
Question for people who have lost their mother?
Today I spoke with a man in his 70s. During the conversation, he told me that he lost his mother 15 years ago and still misses her, even though he's already 70. He said to me, " Young man, you won't understand until you experience it yourself. You can't forget your mother, no matter how…
He comes from earlier than reading and education were less widespread and mainly scholars or prosperous humans wore glasses
Because there is a positive statistical correlation between short-sightedness and intelligence.
But how can that be? Is that like “more brains but a damaged cornea” or how?:)
For the first time I wrote correlation NOT causality. – But it is basically possible that certain genetic expressions occur more and more with other specific genetic expressions. For example, schizophrenic people are often above average intelligent.
This ancient cliché is simply not dead.
Presumably, this still comes from a time when most of the mistakes have remained undiscovered and the vast majority of people have only worn glasses if it was not possible at all – I could imagine that strikingly many who had to do professionally with texts were seen at their work with glasses and that could be the case with high academia (for example lawyers, teachers, etc.)
In my opinion, it is totally insane to form a verdict from the presence of glasses, as malvisibility is based on genetic preconditions and not just a high level of education. Anyone who has no reason for short-sightedness is also not short-sighted by excessive reading and there are as many highly educated people who do not need glasses as there are also poorly educated people who are ill-sighted.
By the way, most professors at my university do not wear glasses and many of those who do it, because of age-sightedness, which at some point meets everyone.
I am even relatively short-sighted, but it cannot suffer at all if comments, such as “You see mega smart with your glasses” or similar come. If someone thinks I’m smart, he’s not supposed to appreciate it by wearing glasses.
It is best to use glasses without recognizable strength – main thing ne glasses in the face and thus the cliché serves 🤣. In this context, I also find that the actors who are supposed to look rather stupid, will be happy to be equipped with glasses in plus-strengths, making the eyes appear larger if someone makes the effort not to use plan glasses, while Streber are preferably represented as a short-sighted.
If we’re talking about movies, A super cliché is then also how they are suddenly blind without glasses and their eyes while they are looking for their glasses
That’s right, that’s what’s in it.
A glasses can already give an intellectual appearance.
A glasses are needed for good vision and correspondingly demanding, more accurate activities and reading. Simple work could be done with a worse view. This relationship exists at least in relation to previous times.
Because smart people used to be so smart that they can see better with glasses. They were so smart, thinking that bad seeing is a punishment of God, being nonsense.
Probably because more prosperous and thus educated people can afford glasses.
Who reads a lot has a higher risk of being short-sighted and forming at the same time.
I think it’s from the Middle Ages. At that time only specially educated people could read. The first glasses were therefore used by highly respected people who could read.
is also a cliché 😀

Whoever reads a lot will notice very quickly whether he/she needs glasses. If you only have to read very little for your profession, you will hardly wear glasses even if your eyes are bad.
