This rumor was actually created by the British military in WWII. The British had just developed Airborn Interception Radar but did not want the Germans to find out about their new technology. In order to explain the sudden increase in Nazi planes being shot down, the British started publicizing the false story that they had begun feeding their pilots more carrots and that had improved their night vision.
While the vitamin A found in carrots can help prevent macular degeneration and cataracts, increasing your carrot intake will not improve your vision in any way that you will immediately notice. Injesting too much Vitamin A can also result in a condition that turns the skin an orange-yellowish color, and in rare cases an overdose of Vitamin A has been known to be fatal.
Best to just keep looking for your glasses. Good luck finding them.

Sorry about your glasses! Yes, carrots will help your eyesight as they are rich in Vitamin A. However, it is a longterm thing- you must eat a lot of carrots for quite some time.

Carrots won't help you find your glasses, nor see without them. What they will do is improve your night vision and the time it takes your eyes to adjust from light to dark conditions. Eat your veggies!

(Finally, a question that I can answer.) Many people don't believe that carrots can help your eyesight, but they actually can. My mother used to be a nurse, so she knows all about this type of suff.

carrots are rich in vitamin A and good for your eyes, but you won't get immediate results or changes in your eyesight

You have to eat alot of carrots in a long period of time. Try to remember where you had them last.....or get a new pair. Good luck.
