Myths About Your Eyes and Vision


Eating Carrots Will Improve Your Vision – fact: carrots contain high amounts of vitamin A, an essential nutrient to having good vision. Consuming carrots will provide you ample amount of vitamin A necessary for good vision. Aside from carrots, vitamin A can also be found in cheese, milk, liver, and egg yolk. You only need a small amount of vitamin A for good vision, so, if you are consuming a sufficient amount of vitamin A in your diet, taking in more carrots will not boost your vision.


Sitting Too Close to the TV Will Damage Your Vision – fiction: you might end up with a headache for sitting too near, but it does not ruin your vision. Children who are nearsighted might have the tendency to sit really close to see more clearly, which just shows that they need glasses.


Reading in the Dark Will Weaken Your Eyesight – fiction: similar to sitting close to a TV screen, you may experience eye strain or a headache when reading while it is dark, but this will not cause your eyes to weaken.
