Vitamin A matters for low-light sight
Carrots contain beta-carotene, which the body can convert into vitamin A. Vitamin A is needed for the retina to function, especially in low light.

TWISTED
Carrots support normal vision, but they do not give people special night vision.
The claim is misleading. Carrots are a source of beta-carotene, which helps the body make vitamin A, and vitamin A is necessary for normal low-light vision.

Bottom line
The claim is misleading. Carrots are a source of beta-carotene, which helps the body make vitamin A, and vitamin A is necessary for normal low-light vision. But eating carrots does not grant enhanced night vision unless a vitamin-A deficiency is being corrected.
No superpower effect in well-fed people
The claim overstates the effect. In people who already get enough vitamin A, eating extra carrots does not create enhanced night vision or let someone see in darkness.
Deficiency is the key condition
The real medical link is deficiency. Vitamin A deficiency can cause night blindness, and correcting the deficiency can improve it. That is different from carrots giving night vision to everyone.
