thehungryvortigaunt: rotationalsymmetry:snipertrifle:fatsexybitch:This is funny, but I can tell you why right now without a studyGlasses give you an immediate and blinding indication if your mask is not worn properly. If you wear glasses you are more likely to secure the mask tightly to ensure you dont fog up your glasses.And 2, no one can sneeze or cough on ur eyeballs I know the study hypothesized that it’s because glasses wearers don’t touch their face as much. But as a glasses wearer, I think Fatsexybitch is onto something with #1. There is no way that glasses wearers touch their faces less. (Specifically eyes…maybe. Faces in general, lol no.)There may be a glasses/education/inclination to take public health experts seriously correlation. And/or a glasses/education/class (work from home, less crowded living conditions, ability to afford delivery) connection. Actually – I’m betting on the second one as being the main factor.OTOH, if they haven’t controlled for age, there could be a glasses/older age connection that might be expected to result in higher hospitalization/complications rates.Looking at the actual study, it’s from China, so I’m not sure if the education and class assumptions would still hold. I don’t think China has the same Covid denier thing going on that the US has.It is one study, so by itself it doesn’t mean much. Would be interesting if results were replicated under more rigorous circumstances though. Thank you! It’s seriously nuts how many people in the notes are mindlessly saying “glasses wearers touch their faces more” to CONFIRM OP’s point when if anything it would DISPROVE it. Stop touching your faces! I guess glasses aren’t exactly an indication of intelligence? Yeah, as a fellow wearer of glasses I’m pretty sure it’s more the tightly securing and eyeball shield bits. With possibly some of the glasses/education/etc. connection. If I had a nickel for every time I touched my face in a day just to adjust my glasses… -- source link
