The researchers say that their findings have important social and preventative implications.

"Good eye care is really important but unfortunately there are not always good associations with wearing glasses," says Baird.

"This shows that people, particularly children, should not avoid or delay wearing glasses due to preconceived ideas about what it would imply about their personalities," adds Baird.

The personality focus provides a key element in a series of studies to identify factors involved in myopia. The other elements investigated were environmental and genetic factors.

The study has been published in the journal Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science.
