Which is more accurate ... smart people have poor eyesight or people with poor eyesight are smart?

Question

Why are brainy people always depicted with glasses. (and yes, I am extremely nearsighted and considered rather intelligent)

Answer 1

Smart people are wise enough to get their eyes examined.

Answer 2

It's a stereotype.

I used to have a friend that was dumb as a bag of hammers, but eschewed contacts in favor of glasses because, in his mind, at least, girls would see him as an intellectual. Fact is, he was a near-sighted Neanderthal.

Having said all that, I wear glasses, and used both "eschewed" and "Neanderthal" in the same answer, which has to be a relative rarity on Yahoo Answers.

Answer 3

i think the first choice is a more accurate sentence.
Besides, there are tons of poor eyesight people, characterized that way to show they dumb.
By the way i have a wonderful vision :), and i consider myself enough smart :)

Answer 4

im super blind and i am not super smart.... maybe smarter people are too much into their studies to get contacts and.... and like me... i care too much about what i look like and not enough on my studies? buuuuuut if smart people are soooo smart then they would know that driving with contacts is a lot better and safer than driving with glasses... cause you cant see out the corner of your eye.... hmmmm

Answer 5

Answer 6

Neither is accurate, but simply an intellectual exercise of pretending to be aware of life.

Answer 7

Neither, a person being smart or otherwise is comprehended by their actions and their personality.

Answer 8

Probably to suggest they suffer eyestrain from reading all the time....Also why they're often referred to as "bookworms"....

Answer 9

What's that? I can't read the screen.
