well hoping that this isn't a racist based question,
all my asian friends seem to come from a culture in which there is little physical activity. They tend to spend more time reading or (nowadays) looking at computer screens.
So I would imagine that if it isn't due to genetic reasons, that it would be to the lack of use of their eyes in the real world as opposed to a flat page or screen when they are growing up.

Asians wear eyeglasses for the same reason as any other humans, they want to have a clearer view of the world.

I don't know, but I've been wondering the same thing. I went to a school last year where the student body was predominently asian. There were 30 kids in my class and all but 2 of them wore glasses. The school that I go to now is predominently caucasian, and it's obvious that less than half wear glasses here.

Because these "so many Asian people'' whom you refer to cannot possibly afford the luxury of a pair of contact lenses - unlike their European and American contemporaries !

For the same reason everyone else wears them.
Cause they can't see.

I do not think that is especially true. Not more than any other race I suppose.
