It turns out that the old wives tale was pretty close to on the mark. Carrots contain a considerable amount of Vitamin A, and Vitamin A (1) is necessary for maintaining night vision (loss of night vision is one of the first signs of Vitamin A deficiency) (2) studies show that it helps prevent multiple forms of childhood blindness *** There's also the beta carotene, which is an anti-oxidant.
