US Presidents and their Eyeglasses
Herbert Hoover
Dear Mr. Whitney:
Thank you for your interest in Herbert Hoover. While we have no medical records of Mr. Hoover, there is photographic evidence that he wore eye glasses on a few occasions as a young man and as an older man. Attached is a jpeg image of two photo index cards with Mr. Hoover wearing glasses.
Should you wish to order a photo(s) or have additional questions, please let us know.
Sincerely,
Lynn

In recent months, a number of articles have come to light about US presidents and their eyeglass choices.
The information is being shared here and hopefully will grow to include other Presidents as such information is uncovered.
