I have a greater acuity of vision and better night vision when I cut way
down on the carbs. I think it may have to do with the water balance of
the body, affecting the shape of the eye. Or it could be inflammation.
The difference is noticeable very quickly; a couple of days of
carb-loading junk food makes a big difference in my vision. I am not
nearsighted, but have some astigmatism.
When I'm eating poorly, my vision is a little cloudy, with obvious
floaters, and
it's harder to focus on things (visually as well as mentally).
