  Generally speaking, eating carrots can provide you with vitamin A and efficiently help prevent your eye from nyctalopia. Though recently there is no figure showing that the carotene can improve the vision. It indeed does good to one's eyes. Therefore, we suggest: First, animal oil roasted carrots are with lots of vitamin E. Second, the animals' liver and corn are good for eyes. Last, chrysanthemum tea, cassia tea and selfheal tea can be using to clear liver and improve your vision.
