Is carrot is good for eye sight  

Carrots only help your night vision, not your day vision. Your eyes have rods and cones and the ones your eyes use for night vision are made more sensative because of the make up of the carrot.

Carrots have vitamins your eyes need. They contain 300% vitamin A. They do not actually help you see in the dark, but the vitamins really help your eyes.

I think that if you eat too many of them they can turn your skin slightly orange, but this is maybe a myth.

Carrots contain a carotenoid called beta-carotene.Body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A, which is an anti-oxidant. Antioxidants such as vitamin A are essential to eye health. Vitamin A is known to:

* help your eyes adjust to light changes
* Moisten the eyes, which can enhance visual acuity
* Prevent the forming of cataracts

I also think carrot has more vitamins. Carrot is sure help if want good eye sight. I like to have carrot. In fact, carrot is my one of my favorite vegetables. I also like to drink carrot juice. I will have carrot juice almost 4 time in a week. I think carrot is not expensive to buy than other vegetables.

yes carrot is good for ur eye sight.

Eating carrots won't give a nearsighted person 20/20 vision. But carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A - a crucial nutrient for maintaining proper eyesight.

Vitamin A deficiency can cause night blindness, says John Allred, a professor of nutrition at Ohio State University. An extreme deficiency can even cause blindness. Vitamin A deficiency is the leading cause of blindness in the Third World. But if you're not deficient in vitamin A, your vision won't improve no matter how many carrots or other beta-carotene-rich fruits and vegetables you eat.

Most multivitamins today contain beta-carotene so they're one easily available source, says Karen Cullen, RD, DrPH, an assistant professor of nutrition at Baylor College of Medicine's Children's Nutrition Research Center. But she strongly recommends getting your daily dose from dark, green leafy vegetables such as kale and spinach and bright, orange-colored fruits and vegetables such as peaches, apricots, cantaloupes, sweet potatoes and pumpkins. Foods high in beta-carotene are preferable to a vitamin because they come with other important nutrients that you won't necessarily get from a vitamin, says Cullen.

If you eat very large amounts of the orange-colored fruits and vegetables, your skin may turn orange because beta-carotene is a pigment, says Cullen. But don't worry -- it's completely harmless. Just cut back on those orange foods to make the color go away. However, since you do have to eat a lot of beta-carotene to change your skin color, if this happens, you might want to seek the advice of a health professional to make sure your diet is well-balanced.

Yes! it is, since carrots contains vitamin A or beta-carotene's, which are good for our eye sight.

Beta-carotene helps to protect our vision, especially night vision. And also beta-carotene's help provide protection against the development of senile cataracts, the leading cause of blindness in the elderly.

Carrots contain a carotenoid called beta-carotene. Your body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A, which is an anti-oxidant. Antioxidants such as vitamin A are essential to eye health. Vitamin A is known to:
1. help your eyes adjust to light changes
2. Moisten the eyes, which can enhance visual acuity
3. Prevent the forming of cataracts
4. help prevent blindness from AMD
