This is the modern version of a stereotype that goes back to the Middle Ages. When "spectacles" first became common, they were bought and used only by people who did a lot of reading, for the most part (this was a time in history when many, if not the majority of people in a society could not read). Those who read a lot eventually needed glasses. Those who read a lot were also considered the smartest people. The connection stuck, leading to such things as "wise old owl" because owls have large eyes (like a person who's eyes were magnified by their spectacles) and in modern usage the "geek", who is studious, and needs glasses.
