This happened while I was still on the lowcarb list (back before when Julia had it). I was driving one day in April and getting a headache. I took off my glasses to rub my eyes and noticed that I could see about the same without them as with them. At this time, I had no idea what was going on. I asked questions on the list and some folks spoke of the same thing happening. So I went to see an eye doctor. Turns out that my left eye had improved 30% and my right eye 60%. The doctor was incredulous, as the change happened in a year, and the only previous changes to my eyesight were always bad, every year I have always needed stronger glasses since about 1975. I tried to explain to him what I thought was doing it, and he glazed over. I shut up and went home. But I haven't worn my glasses since. I can now drive just fine without them, even at night. I suspect that the improvement has contined, but I'm not going to get another eye exam until a year has passed so that I don't have to pay for it out of pocket. Anyway, the explanation is that sugar binds to the inside of the lens, making the lens stiff and less able to focus properly. I'll bet that there are plenty of folks on this list who've noticed the same thing. Take care, John Pavao ---------- John, your eyesight improved on lowcarb? You should tell us about that. Mary J.
