I heard it said that people who look to much at women and have too much sex go blind or need to wear glasses? Is there any truth in it?
What mechanism would cause that outcome? Does it sound reasonable?
In the last few hundred years there are more people on the earth, and in the last few hundred years we have had the invention of glasses.
It makes logical sense.
Not really. What you're describing is a coincidence.
That's like saying the decline of international piracy is responsible for global warming, because piracy has decreased, temperatures have increased and the two trends have both existed for awhile.
There's more people on earth due to improvements in food security for most of the world as well as modern medicine meaning fewer people die early in life, meaning they life long enough to have kids of their own. Fewer people dying young will cause an increase in population since most of them will reproduce, as will their kids, grandkids, etc.
