    Well you would have to eat a LOT of carrots to improve eyesight, but it is Vitamin A is important in maintenance of the cornea, helps proper perception of light at the retina and a vitamin A deficiency can cause lag in recovery time after a flash of light at night. So make sure you are getting the right amount of it. Other foods high in Beta Carotene and Vitamin A are whole eggs, whole milk and Liver. If you don't eat much of these foods, consider supplementation.

    • hehe yea, you would have to eat a lot of carrots! :)

      Carrots also contain Beta Carotine (spell check). I know eating carrots improves the health of your eyes but doesn't actually improve your eyesight. Improving eyesight is left to eye exercises such as those shown here ( http://www.improve-your-eyesight-naturally.com )

      There's a whole bunch of other nutrients that improve your eye health such as Lutein, Quercetin, Rutin, Vitamin C and E... you can look here ( http://www.eye-food.improve-your-eyesight-naturally.com ) for detail of these nutrients and a dozen others.
