If he had studied (or paid better attention in class) he would have known that there is in fact no vitamin A in carrots but alfa and beta carotene which our body metabolises into vitamin A.
During the Second World War the Germans occupied Denmark and nationalized all dairy farms. Whole milk and butter were all appropriated for the Germans. Danish civilians ate margarine and drank skim milk instead. Soon doctors were treating many eye problems in children. After the Germans were expelled and the war ended the dairy farms were privatized (given back to their owners) and the Danes once again drank whole milk and ate butter. Doctors and scientists made an observation: Butter and whole contained Vitamin A, which affects eye health.
During WWII it was rumored that Allied night fighter pilots were being fed carrots to improve their night vision. It now appears this rumor was started to hide the fact that the Allied planes were using radar.

Milk has vitamin D because it is added to milk, because it is believed that vitamin D will help the body use the calcium in the milk.

Peter might not ace the test, but he should have no problem being in the dark.
