The myth says: carrots are good for the eyes, so you should eat many. In principle, this is also true: carrots provide beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. The photoreceptors need this vitamin in the eyes. A vitamin A deficiency would make it difficult to see at night.
The only thing is, in our latitudes, we take in enough vitamin A through food, so eating an overdose of carrots for the eyes is not necessary.
Myth II: Reading in dim light is bad for your eyes
Reading in dim light is harmful to the eyes, says the myth. And it is not right: Neither reading nor watching TV in low light leads to defective vision, and the eye can adapt to different light conditions.
