Question: Is my eye doctor lying when he says that when your eyes get worse it's all due to genetics!?
When I went to the eye doctor and I asked him if TV could be making my eyes worse or not sleeping or etc!. He simply says its genetics and that there is NOTHING i can do about, though my vision will eventually level off!. Is it true!? Or is this some lie, so eye doctors can keep the patients in the dark!?

Answers:
heh, yeah I couldn't believe it either, but there have been studies done proving that none of that causes loss of eyesight!. Not reading in the dark, sitting to close to the television,etc!. Common sense, and mothers tell us all otherwise, but science proves it!. Well to some extent!. I don't fully believe it because I think that it is simply impossible that staring at a screen won't have any damaging affect to my eyesight!. But yes they claim MOST loss of eyesight is due to genetics!. And what isn't is caused by artery disease around the eye vessels, and other medical problems!. (Some info may not be completely accurate, seeing to the fact that I watched the documentary about a year ago, and don't remember it all) Hope this helps! good luck! Www@Answer-Health@Com

"patients in the dark" ha! ha!
No, most of the stuff that happens to your eyes that is not due to direct injury or disease are due to genetics, not watching TV or reading in dim lights, although the tension of the latter can affect the body!. Genetics determine the shape of your eyes and how that changes with aging and the shape of your eyes, not how you use them to watch TV!.
Two factors in eye problems that are unrelated directly to genetics are the greater risk of retinal detachment if you are near sighted (as I found on the roof of the house one day - exciting) and have high blood pressure!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, he is not lying!. Certain traits run in the family genetics including the eye problems you are having!. Genetics control everything about your body!. Anyway, he has nothing to gain by lying to you!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Lol, Optometrist are generally good people!. They don't have much of a reason to lie!. But back to the subject on hand!. I'm a pre-med major and he's right!. 99% has to do directly with genetics!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I get the same thing with my eye doctor!. Both my parents wear them, and so do all of my siblings!. I think it's true!. I mean, I barely watch t!.v!. and spend most of my time outside!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My eye problems are genetic!. It can also skip a generation so if your parents both have perfect sight, it doesn't mean anything!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

He's not lying!. It's called presbyopia, and nearly everyone gets it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
