Fact-check: “Eating carrots improves your eyesight”
Verdict: Misleading (85% confidence)
The claim is technically true in one narrow scenario — if you're vitamin A deficient, eating carrots can help restore normal vision — but it creates a false impression for the general population. For people who already get enough vitamin A, eating more carrots does not improve eyesight beyond normal levels. Multiple nutrition and ophthalmology sources agree on this distinction, and the broad claim 'carrots improve your eyesight' overstates what the evidence shows.
