Answer 2

No they don't. It was a myth unintentionally created by England during World War 2. They had developed a new technology that would help pilots in dog fights target the enemy remarkebly better. The American military asked why their aim had improved so much, and since the English military was uneasy with letting their secrets out even to allies, a English general jokingly said "We've been feeding them a lot of carrots" and that's where it all began.

Answer 3

You need Vitamin A and some Beta Carotene for good vision, but you can't possibly eat enough carrots to really help your vision. - And, it is only part of the picture.

Having all the right vitamins isn't likely to improve your vision these days. People don't have malnutrition, and get most of their vitamins already. Good eyesight requires much more than vitamins!!

Answer 4

The Keratin (betakeratine) in orange vegatables like carrots is believed to keep your eyes healthy and improve your vison. According to the first page its untrue. According to WebMd its both true and untrue.

"Eating carrots won't give a nearsighted person 20/20 vision. But carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A -- a crucial nutrient for maintaining proper eyesight."

Look at the following pages for more info.!

Good Luck and Merry Christmas!

Answer 5

I say yes, this is why. the term, you are what you eat, couldnt be more accurate. each and every bodily function is performed with the help of a vitamin, mineral or a calorie. If your eyes use vitamin A to function, then of course. get this, a single serving of carrots deliver 300% of the daily value of Vitamin A needed. Not only that, its REAL food, not some synthetic supplement.

Answer 6

Yes Carrots improve your vision.. Actually the beta-carotene in carrots improve your vision.

Answer 7

Have you ever seen a rabbit with glasses???

But to be serious, I doubt that it improves your vision. I like eating carrots and I (still) have pretty bad vision.

Answer 8

eating carrots may increase your vision, but the basic concept behind it, is eat them before you start to lose your vision, do not wait until your vision fades.
They are high in betacarotene which is a precursor to Vitamin A. Vitamin A is an anti-oxidant and helps MAINTAIN vision and bone.

Answer 9

No, but it has potential to decrease deterioration. Since the eye heals quickly, it may assist with repairing them to a higher vision, though extremely unlikely.

Answer 10

Answer 11

I don't know it if can improve your eye sight, but it can promote good eye health. TOO many carrots however, can actually turn your skin orange from the Beta Carotene.
