Kempfer's Rice Diet, a salt-free program, was reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association (1947) to improve vision. A possible causitive mechanism is that salt retains water (edema) in the eye components, which distorts the shape of these components and creates errors in refraction. Countries with the highest salt intake, like China and Japan, have the most myopia, while primitive tribes in Brazil and in African countries with the lowest salt intake have the least myopia. Studies showed that myopia increased in younger generations of Eskimos who abandoned the traditional Eskimo diet and began to eat a Western diet, which included more salt.
