You're confusing optometrist with opthamologist. An opthamologist is a medical doctor whose specialty is vision. An optometrist is someone who gives eye exams and then may sell you frames and glasses (like at Lenscrafters).
Any good opthamologist will confirm that doing a lot of reading in low light conditions can definitely cause eye problems. Whether these problems will be permanent is debatable.
Bottom line: It's preferrable to read in situations that don't cause eye-strain. That's why I have a Kindle and my eyes absolutely feel differently after a few hours with it vs. a few hours on the laptop.
