Fact-check: “Eating carrots improves your eyesight”
Verdict: Misleading (85% confidence)
The claim is technically true in one narrow scenario — people with a vitamin A deficiency can see measurable improvements in night vision from eating carrots — but for the vast majority of people who already get enough vitamin A, eating more carrots does not improve eyesight at all. The unqualified claim creates a false impression that carrots generally enhance vision, when the evidence shows they only restore vision to normal in people who are deficient, not boost it beyond that baseline.
