Interesting.
Though, I wonder if this is more a correlation with any kind of physical disability and the whole effort of having to deal with the raw end of the stick by having to deal with Stuff. Extra doctor's appointments, eyedrops, different routines than what's assumed for most people, feeling/being more of a dependent on others, tiredness/reduced endurance given the extra stress. Would not surprise me if there was a strong link there.

- AtlasBarfed 4y agoIs this rocket science? Glasses mark you as nerdy and uncool. Essentially it stigmatizes you in social rank, which unless you switch schools, follows you grade to grade. Actually, it might be a fascinating analog to poverty and generations. Because you know what makes someone depressed? Being near the bottom of their social peer group primate hierarchy.
