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.
