Answers:
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!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ways to help keep your eyes healthy include:

don't smoke
have regular eye check ups
wear sunglasses and a hat outdoors
maintain a healthy diet including fish and plenty of brightly coloured fruit and vegetables; and minimise saturated fats, sugars and highly processed starches
regular exercise

Unfortunately none of these will affect your need for glasses, nothing whatsoever can be done about that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you can do things to make your eyes more sharper but the bad news is that you most likely will have to wear glasses all your life unless you get contact lenses!. things which you could eat to make your eye sight sharper is carrots or fish!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
