Why is that? Also what do you mean “seem to?” They do or they don’t, right? Have they not actually told you what they think?

I'm modulating my language simply because I don't have a firm grasp on expert consensus, I only have a handful of optometrist friends, and I usually like to defer to consensus.

I'm not sure why you'd think they wouldn't be honest with me: you should assume good faith.

I am assuming good faith. I wouldn’t ask you why they believe that if I didn’t. Incidentally you didn’t answer my question: “why is that?”

I thought I did answer it with my first paragraph, but if that still seems odd to you we can probably chalk it up to English as a second language or to a misunderstanding.
