What do you think about old tale  that"Eating carrots will improve your eyesight"Well-balanced diet can provide the vitamin A needed for good vision,but eating more than the recommended daily allowance won't improve vision.These  are my believes.

I've been eating carrots my whole life and am very close to being legally blind.  I never did see the connection although carrots continue to be my favorite veggie.  I remember one time while dieting, I ate an excessive amount of carrots and my skin literally turned orange, I went to my doctor, I was pretty freaked out and he said that basically I was overdosing on beta carotene.
