Our weekly myth by Eveline:
"Eat your carrots, you'll get better eyes!" is a phrase that I'm sure we all remember from childhood. You're sitting at the kitchen table with your family and you've actually eaten everything on your plate, except for those stupid carrots.
To motivate you, your parents tell you that carrots will improve your eyesight even in the dark. Of course, that was the ultimate dream for a child.
However, as someone who wears glasses I noticed one thing over time: every half year my eyesight was deteriorating despite having eaten so many carrots. For this reason I asked myself:
Do carrots really strengthen eye sight?
