Do glasses lead to bad eyesight evolving?

My wife and I went to the optometrist and had our eyes examined yesterday. Afterward we had a conversation about evolution and eyesight.Is the human race getting progressively worse in eyesight? 400 years ago my wife probably would never have survived to adulthood with her eyes. Today she can not only survive, but is a physician and capable of passing on her genes.Is our ability to provide enhancements to our bodies causing traits like bad eyesight to become more prevalent in future generations?Edited by Theodoric, : No reason given.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

Do you not think that people with really bad eyesight might not have lived to adulthood as often as people with bad eyesight? In primitive cultures bad eyesight would be an extreme detriment to survival. Even in a more modern age the poor sighted would be more prone to accidents and being in lethal situations I would think, due to not being able to see well enough to perceive the danger. Even after the invention of eyeglasses I would think poor eyesight would have still greatly influenced the survivability of the poor sighted among the poor classes.I could be totally wrong on this. Gut instinct and "common" sense tends to skew viewpoints a bit.

Not what I am pondering in the OP.

Not that I don't trust you, but do you have any references for this?

So basically you have nothing to back this? Edited by Theodoric, : Punctuation
