What are the ways to correct poor vision besides eating carrots? short sighted.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Healthy diet & exam: Are the best ways to insure good vision. Although carotene found in carrots does benefit some patients with macular degeneration, there are many nutrients required for good general ocular health. We cannot change the refractive state or need for glasses by eating carrots or any other foods. This is a myth. Good general health and a routine comprehensive eye exam are the best for eyes.
