Default hi carb and myopia

Interesting story on the BBC the other day:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/he...000/1909075.stm
suggesting that a childhood diet high in carbs may lead to shorsightedness. (Not to mention all the other grief!)
I'm myopic, all right, have been wearing glasses since about 8 years old.
I don't suppose going low-carb would reverse the damage? Once the eye grows into that football shape, it's presumably not likely to change.
How many folks out there are shortsighted, then?
