Level of education is more decisive than intelligence for the development of short-sightedness: vision-research.eu

Environmental factors such as education and leisure activities have a greater influence on the development of short-sightedness or myopia than the ability to think logically and solve problems.

Myopia and the so-called "fluid intelligence" of a person are certainly related, but only indirectly through the duration of education. This is the conclusion of researchers at the Mainz University Medical Center involved in the study "Myopia and Cognitive Performance: Results from the Gutenberg Health Study." The results of the study appeared in the October issue of the specialist journal Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science.
