没有正式的研究报告过眼镜如何影响年龄感知，除了伦敦视力诊所的一项调查发现，45 岁以上的人戴眼镜时看起来老了 5 岁或更多。为了研究眼镜和太阳镜对年龄感知的影响，同时控制年龄和人际差异，我们对 50 名年轻人的脸部照片进行了数字处理，以创建两种年龄条件（年轻和年老）和三种眼镜条件（不戴眼镜、眼镜和太阳镜）。然后参与者估计了这些面孔的年龄，这些面孔以随机顺序显示。人们普遍认为戴眼镜会让你看起来更老，戴太阳镜会让你看起来更年轻，但我们的研究结果表明，眼镜对年龄感知的影响相当小。
No formal studies have reported how glasses influence age perception, except for a London Vision Clinic survey that found that people over 45 look 5 or more years older when wearing eyeglasses. To investigate the effect of eyeglasses and sunglasses on age perception while controlling for age and interpersonal differences, we digitally manipulated the photographs of faces of 50 young adults, to create two age conditions (young and old) and three eyewear conditions (no glasses, eyeglasses, and sunglasses). Participants then estimated the age of the faces, displayed in random order. Contrary to the generally accepted beliefs that wearing eyeglasses makes you look older and wearing sunglasses make you look younger, our results suggest that the effect of glasses on age perception is rather small.
