There are even studies that show that the vividness of mental imagery is reduced in people who wear eyeglasses: http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/neuro/imagery/Refractive%20errors%20affect%20the%20vividness%20of%20visual%20mental%20images%20-%202013.pdf http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/neuro/imagery/Refractive%20e...
