This information is very useful one. And at the same time the eye sight problems are facing mostly by the poor and lower middle-class people because of malnutrition.
The Saffron is a very costly food as for as Indian people are concerned.
This saffron is used mainly during the pregnency time, and a superstitious thing also hiden in this. Many pregnant ladies in villages as well as in the urban area consuming it along with a cup of milk, saying that their child will be born very fairly and lovely.
Anyway it is a welcoming news for million and million of people got eye sight problems.
