Carrots are good for your vision. To obtain the optimal effect from carrots, they should be taken internally, that is, eaten. Hitting yourself (or others) in the eye with a carrot doesn't guarantee you'll get enough vitamin A to cause any significant improvement to your vision. In fact, it may make matters worse as Roderick Vecsey of Monroe, CT found out when during an argument with his wife he flung a carrot at her, effectively blinding her in one eye. Ironically, they were apparently arguing about taking their daughter to the doctor at the time. To be fair, we must point out that Mr. Vecsey was allegedly eating the carrot at the time of the argument, so he may be aware of the traditional method of obtaining vitamin A. In fact, there's a chance he may have intended to share this carroty goodness with his wife and may have been aiming at her mouth.
Ethnically-aware readers have pointed out Mr. V's Hungarian surname, and the fact that the assault with a deadly carrot took place about a week after another allegedly Hungarian man blew up his New York townhouse in another situation involving a wife. There is so much cultural subtext in all of this it's not even funny.
