why do some peoples eyesight deteriorate quicker than others?

Question

luckily at 35 i still have really good eyesight and it doesnt seem to have got any worse. i have light sensitive eyes so have always protected them against bright light (good at seeing in the dark hehehe).....would this have something to do with it?

Answer 1

It is 99% genetics. You can damage your eyes with bright sunlight, but it won't change whether you need glasses or not.

At the age of 40+ most people's eyesight starts deteriorating because they lens becomes increasingly rigid and less easy to focus. The change is slower in some people than in others.

There are exercises that can be done to help improve eye health or delay deteriation of sight. Do a search for "vision therapy" and see what you think!

Genetics can play a big part. Everyone in my family but my dad needs glasses. So guess what? So do I. Other factors can contribute like small scale work or doing things in poor light. Taking care of your eyes whether you have good vision or not is very important and it can play a part in keeping them from getting worse.
