If you eat your crusts you would grow up strong and have curly hair. Or so we were told. Very few children would question this, and would often not even consider whether or not a tight perm would really be beneficial to them or not. Then of course, there were the carrots. If you eat them, you would be able to see in the dark. 

Whilst the first of these stories may have been just a case of parents pushing their luck, the carrots ability to aid our sight is no myth. Carotene rich foods such as carrots can help the eyes in all manner of ways. However, there are plenty of other ways to see in the dark, and it may take a great deal of carrots and possibly a vitamin A deficiency for the effects of carrots to be particularly noticeable.

For those who are involved in night time pursuits and rue the fact they never ate carrots as a child, being able to see in the dark, whether simply for safety or to aid activities such as hiking or even night time filming, can be helped by the many night vision products on the market that can make seeing in the dark very easy. From using such night vision with binoculars to watch nocturnal animals to using it on cameras to ensure that your property is secure at night, night vision is the quick and easy way of being able to see in the dark no matter why you might need to.

So whether you like carrots or not, there will be a far more practical and efficient way for you to be able to see clearly at night and you don’t have to be a spy to use such items. Such products are now readily available, and at far lower prices that ever before.
