Carrots aren’t better for one’s eyes than any other root vegetable. In World War II, the British had a surplus of carrots and were using radar with great success aganst the Nazis so they spread the tale that eating carrots were good for your eyes. This encouraged people to eat carrots instead of harder to get food items and helped make the Nazis think their planes were not getting shot down with a secret weapon.
