Fact-check: “Eating carrots improves your eyesight”
Verdict: Misleading (85% confidence)
The claim creates a false impression. Carrots contain beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A, and vitamin A is essential for normal vision — so carrots can prevent or reverse vision problems caused by vitamin A deficiency. But for people who already get enough vitamin A, eating more carrots does not improve eyesight beyond normal levels. The claim implies a general eyesight-boosting effect that the evidence does not support.
