Do vegetarians really have clearer eyes?
I heard that vegetarians have clearer eyes than people who eat meat. (Not like their eyesight is better, like how their eyes look...) Is that true?
Answers:
Yes, it can be true. There is an eye condition known as arcus that is more common in people who have diets with high cholesterol, i.e. red meat. The condition is not sight-threatening, but it causes a white ring to form around the clear part of the eye (cornea).

Not all of them. My sister was poked in the eye with a carrot.
No
Nope! Where did you hear that?
Actually i believe it is true. I went vegetarian around 5 weeks ago now and loads have people have said to me my eyes look brighter. SO in my opinion and case, yes being veggie makes you have nice eyes :)
Maybe. I used to have really murky, muddy looking eyes. (Even though they're a BRIGHT blue/green.) Since I went vegetarian five years ago, my eyes have been really clear and brighter than they used to.
I've heard that when people go vegan their eyes lighten. This is supposedly because dark pigment can signify ill-health. I know that when I went vegan my eyes went from being dark green to being pale green. They are crystal clear and sparkly, with really white whites. This apparently happens for people with dark brown eyes too. They turn a nice honey brown color.
Sometimes. Some people are allergic to the hormones in meat or the meat itself, which causes vision to worsen. Of course, if you stop eating the food your allergic to you get better. Otherwise its the same for veg and non veg.
never heard that. i don't think vegetarians are really any more healthy than anyone else either
