Perhaps instead of carrots, rabbits should be ingesting oranges to see better.
A surprising discovery by Oregon Health and Sciences University found that Vitamin C prolongs proper functioning of nerve cells in the eye.
In fact, cells in the retina need to be "bathed" in relatively high doses of Vitamin C to be able to function properly.
The study, published in the June 29, 2011 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience also suggests that Vitamin C plays a more important role throughout our brains than was previously thought.
This could eventually have implications for other diseases like glaucoma and epilepsy.
