I only use my glasses for distance. ex. for driving. I am not diabetic. I was surprised to learn that my vision has improved so my new glasses are a weaker prescription. About 2 years ago I started eating plant-based so perhaps there is a connection. I can't think of any other reason for the improvement. What else would it be? I am not saying that everyone would definitely have this effect. Different people probably have different benefits, but it seems that this just happens to be one of mine.

Catbear, It's wonderful that other people have improved vision on the plant-based diet besides me, including Kristine. It would be great if we could avoid having to wear reading glasses. Kristine, awesome about your success due to Dr. Barnard. Its so nice to hear about it. Thanks for sharing it.

If eating plant-based may lower one's risk, that's another great reason to continue to eat this way. I know someone who kept falling while she was hiking and also had a bicycle accident and she found out later it was linked to vision loss from cataracts which she didn't know she had at the time. Avoiding cataracts also might mean avoiding some injuries from falls and accidents.
