I've been short-sighted for about 45 years. Never badly so e.g. in good sunlight I could safely (yet illegally) drive.
I've known that feeling where you find your glasses aren't giving you that clear picture they used to, so off to the optician for a slightly stronger prescription.
Well, over the last few months I've had odd times where I've had that same feeling, but it seems like my prescription is now, possibly, just a tad too strong.
And my sight without glasses seems ever so marginally improved.
Other low carb forums seem to report some experiencing improvements in eyesight with low carbing.
Anyone else have anything to report in this regard ?

Myopia (short-sightedness) is almost unknown outside western industrialised countries. But there has been a dramatic increase in myopia recently in developed countries. As well as stimulating the production of insulin, diets high in refined starches such as sugar and breads also stimulate production of a related compound called insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) This stimulates excess growth of the eyeball during its development. This affects the development of the eyeball , making it abnormally long. This is the fundamental defect in myopia.
