Fact-check: “Eating carrots improves your eyesight”
Verdict: Misleading (85% confidence)
The claim is technically accurate in one narrow situation — people with vitamin A deficiency can restore normal vision by eating carrots — but it creates a false impression for the general population. For the vast majority of people who already get adequate vitamin A, eating more carrots does not improve eyesight, enhance visual acuity, or grant better night vision. The claim's unqualified framing implies a universal benefit that the documented evidence does not support.
