Yes, it’s true that studies have found a statistical correlation between short-sightedness (myopia) and higher IQ, but the relationship is complex, not causal.
Let’s break it down clearly.
✅ What the Research Says:
📚 Multiple studies — across decades — have found:
People with myopia tend to score higher on IQ tests.
This has been observed in both children and adults, across various populations (including Singapore, the US, Europe, and East Asia).
📊 Examples:
A large study in the UK (UK Biobank) showed that myopic individuals had higher average cognitive scores than non-myopic individuals.
A Singaporean study found a significant link between academic performance, IQ, and the development of myopia in students.
