A group of Australian and Italian researchers found that saffron can reverse vision loss caused by age-related macular degeneration. While age-related macular degeneration is more common among the elderly population, this retina-destroying degenerative disease can afflict young and old. When macular degeneration affects your eyes, your sight may go blurry or dark spot can appear in your field of vision, which may ultimately lead to vision loss and blindness. But, there is hope and is coming from a natural spice. Although, the study was small and only included 25 individuals with macular degeneration, researchers found that daily supplementation of 20mg saffron significantly improved the condition after three months. All participants experienced better vision while taking the saffron supplements.
