Saffron and its active compounds, crocin and crocetin, have shown promising results in improving visual function and delaying ARMD progression. Several clinical studies have found that daily supplementation with 20-50 mg of saffron or 5-15 mg of crocin for 3-12 months significantly improved best-corrected visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and retinal function as measured by electroretinogram and microperimetry, with benefits observed in both dry and wet forms of ARMD. The effects were independent of genetic risk factors and maintained during the follow-up periods, suggesting the potential role of saffron as a long-term treatment option. Saffron reduces ARMD progression via anti-angiogenic, neuroprotective, and antioxidant mechanisms. Moreover, saffron is safe and well tolerated.

Remember that by stabilizing the effect of saffron after longer term supplementation means that the potency of saffron stays the same and does not decline over long time consumption. In fact once patients stopped taking the saffron pill, the effects slowly faded away. Saffron is a protecting retina of the eye so you need it every day for eye health.
