night vision
 

Racers,

my night vision continues to slip. Do we have any "tools" to help/enhance night vision?

Shooters amber color lens? other ideas?

Thanks

A good start would be to eat more carrots, and also supplementing with beta carotene. Beta carotene is converted into vitamin A in the liver, then performs many tasks in the body-one of which is retina health (skin too).. If supplementing use beta carotene as opposed to supplementing vitamin A. Too much A can be toxic, however the body won't convet too much BC into vitamin A.

Hope this helps :)

PS, don't cook the carrots, I would expect in raw form more nutrients are more bioavailable.

Hey Larry,it's what's called getting old.And as far as carrots go,I ate so many carrots, cooked and uncooked when I was a kid that I should have had X-ray vision.I needed glasses since I was 8 years old and I've worn them since.I'll be 66 in April.Working on the car isn't as easy as it used to be either.But I thank God I'm still mobile.And I still have my
lovable personality.

I love seeing you older guys out there racing I think it's cool as hell and I only hope I have the energy or the ability for that matter to do this at age 63 but if your still having trouble seeing at night just let me know and I'll get your car down the track for ya. Keep it up your an insperation to us young and much lazer generation. P.S I have 20/20 vision

At least we know that carrots is not a cure for that.
