Is it true that consuming carrots significantly improves human eyesight?
No. A fact-checking source states that while carrots are a good source of vitamin A, eating them will not improve vision, calling the link between carrots and acute vision lore rather than science. A separate review notes carrots are rich in beta-carotene and says this improves eye health, but that is a narrower claim than improved eyesight.
