Could being underweight effect the eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Being underweight, even very highly underweight will have little effect on the eyes or vision. Dehydration can affect eyesight. The eyes are so important to the body that the overall health of the eye is preserved even in extremes of nutrition, weight and stress.
