According to the largest genetic study of cognitive function ever conducted, there are significant links between intelligence and glasses.

The extensive study also linked higher cognitive ability to genes known to play a crucial role in good cardiovascular health.
The genetic data of 44,480 people was examined in the study, which was published in the journal Nature Communications.
Those who participated took part in a variety of thinking tests, and the results were tallied into a general cognitive ability score.
Unfortunately, the study’s design means that researchers were unable to say why there is such a direct correlation between a person’s intelligence, poor eyesight, and cardiovascular health.
