The image is suggesting that drinking a glass of saffron water/tea daily can improve vision or prevent cataracts.
First, an important note:
There is no scientific evidence that saffron can cure cataracts or fully restore vision. Cataracts are caused by clouding of the eye’s lens and are treated medically (often with surgery).
However, saffron does contain antioxidants (like crocin and safranal) that may support overall eye health when part of a balanced diet.
If you’d like to make saffron drink safely, here is a detailed recipe:
🌼 Saffron Eye-Health Drink (Saffron Tea)
Ingredients:
- 5–7 strands of high-quality saffron
- 1 cup (240 ml) warm water or warm milk
- Optional: 1 teaspoon honey
- Optional: a pinch of cardamom or turmeric
Method:
- Warm the liquid
Heat water or milk until warm (not boiling). Boiling can reduce saffron’s delicate compounds. - Crush the saffron
Lightly crush the saffron strands between your fingers or with a spoon to release color and flavor. - Steep
Add saffron to the warm liquid.
Let it steep for 10–15 minutes until it turns golden-orange. - Add extras (optional)
Stir in honey for sweetness.
Add cardamom or a tiny pinch of turmeric for additional antioxidants. - Drink once daily
Best consumed in the morning or before bed.
⚠️ Important Safety Notes:
- Do not exceed 20–30 mg per day (about 10–15 strands). Large amounts can be unsafe.
- Avoid if pregnant unless approved by a doctor.
- It supports eye health but does not cure cataracts.
- For blurry vision or cataracts, consult an eye specialist.
