Can B12 Injections Improve Eyesight?

i had one of my three-monthly B12 injections today and my eyesight seems better.

So I asked Google AI, the title of this post and received this answer.

Yes, B12 injections can improve eyesight if vision problems are caused by a vitamin B12 deficiency. Injections can help reverse vision loss associated with B12 deficiency, such as in cases of optic neuropathy. They may also help lower the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration, though this is linked to maintaining sufficient vitamin levels rather than treating existing vision loss.

Note that when I typed the question into Google, Google appeared to predict I might type it.

As my hearing seems better, whilst, I’m watching  the television, I repeated the question with hearing and received this answer.

B12 injections may improve hearing for individuals with a B12 deficiency, particularly those with tinnitus, because low levels can damage nerves in the ear. For people without a deficiency, evidence suggests B12 injections have little to no effect on hearing. Studies show that B12 supplementation can reduce the severity of tinnitus in those who are deficient.

I shall keep having the injections.

  1. I have suffered from glioma and until recently been using 2 types of eye drops to lower the pressure in my eyes but have been progressively less successful. I read an article on the internet about successful treatment using vitamins (B6, B9, and B12 as well as choline)

    I have been taking “B comlex” pills and noticed significant improvement (no more flashes of light in my eyes.)

  2. I had the occasional symptom like that before I was diagnosed as coeliac. I also have very dry eyes.

    I asked Google AI if coeliac disease and glioma and I received this answer.

    There is no established causal link between coeliac disease and a higher risk of developing glioma. Studies show no association between autoimmune diseases in general and glioma risk. However, some neurological manifestations can occur in coeliac patients, and a rare intestinal lymphoma associated with coeliac disease can spread to the brain in very rare cases.

    I put my dry eyes down to a very leaky skin. They are dry today, as low pressure really dries my skin out.
