Not sure if there is a correlation or not.
It also appears near sighted people tend to run over small things like walls more than everyone else.

I am nearsighted and yes, I do bump into things.... And yes, I did read a lot as a child, though I didn't get glasses until I was a teenager.
I take my glasses off to read. Much clearer than what I can see through the reading portion of my glasses, and also a much wider field of vision. I learned the hard way that I can't use my phone for extended reading sessions. Tried that and the next day my vision was fuzzy and I was seeing halos around lights. Fortunately my eyes did eventually get back to normal. After that I decided that the phone is ok for short periods of time, but if I am going to spend a few hours on the weekend reading I stick to my eink reader - it's never caused any problems.
