There’s a lot to untangle here, as there usually is in nutrition, but it’s certainly not surprising.
“Seed oils” are highly inflammatory. My own optometrist attributed my improved eyesight to reduced inflammation and increased lutein (both of which came from me changing my diet to the opposite of a carnivore diet).
They also used to frequently be hydrogenated, which caused lots of oxidative stress.
Ironically, lots of seeds are rich in omega 3 and most “seed oils” don’t come from commonly eaten seeds.

A little before, actually, but it was after I started trying to eat healthier, which largely involved adding lots of greens to my diet.

It was a pretty profound experience for me. I doubt I’d be such an advocate for dietary improvement without it.
The way it was explained to me is that inflammation was causing elevated pressure inside my eye, which was physically warping my lens.

Oooh this happened to me too! My eyesight also improved when I dished certain foods specifically anything inflammatory. Despite being vegetarian for lord knows how long I still indulged in some foods that were definitely not good for me hehe
