“…The results of studies investigating how children with glasses are perceived by peers remain controversial. Terry and Stockton17 found that glasses had a negative effect, and Walline et al 18 found that they made children look smarter and slightly more honest.…”

“…In a within-group comparison, girls wearing spectacles were more likely to say that girls wearing spectacles were better looking and more honest and girls not wearing spectacles. 37 Type of uncorrected refractive error Only a few quantitative studies have investigated whether the type of RE (i.e., myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism) effect spectacle wear. There was no significant difference between RE types in Chile, Oman and Brazil.…”

Uncorrected refractive errors are the leading cause of visual impairment in children, affecting children in all settings. The majority of refractive errors can be corrected with spectacles. High compliance with spectacle wear is required for children to realize the benefit, such as higher academic achievement. This review collates evidence on compliance with spectacle wear, factors which predict spectacle wear and reasons for non-compliance among schoolchildren. Methods Literature searches were conducted on Medline, Embase, Global Health and the Cochrane Library. The date range was January 2000 to November 2017 and there were no language restrictions. The search retrieved a total of 1299 references, 522 duplicate records were removed leaving 777 references to assess. 25 studies were included in the review. Results Evidence suggests that greater severity of uncorrected refractive error and lower levels of uncorrected visual acuity are associated with higher levels of spectacle wear. Addressing socio-demographic reasons for non-compliance is complex as they are context specific. Evidence that children become less compliant with spectacle wear with increasing age is not consistent. Quantitative data indicate girls are more likely to be compliant with spectacles wear than boys, but qualitative studies highlight specific challenges faced by girls. Conclusion There was considerable variation between studies in how spectacle compliance was defined, the time interval between dispensing the spectacles and assessment, and how compliance was assessed. There is need to standardize all aspects of the assessment of compliance. Further qualitative and quantitative studies are required in a range of settings to assess the biomedical and socio-demographic factors which affect spectacle wear compliance using standard definitions.

“…21 Vision impairment was significant among children not wearing glasses: 50% had uncorrected visual acuity worse than 6/15. 11 Although some studies of glasses use in children have attempted to examine attitudes toward 22 and basic factors (eg, symptoms) underlying 23 glasses use, much remains to be learned about barriers to compliance with glasses use in this group. The focus group (FG) modality is well suited to seek a deeper understanding of this important area.…”

What do kids think about kids in eyeglasses?

Abstract: The old adage 'Boys never make passes at lasses who wear glasses' may be outmoded, but glasses may tend to make children look smarter and slightly more honest to their peers.
