Something I wonder is whether bring very overweight can cause changes in eyesight, and whether weight loss might restore it.

Being very overweight usually causes high blood sugar, which itself causes changes in eye shape, as well as damage to the retina.

The eye shape changes are reversible, but not the retina damage.
