| Details of Innovation | When an animal suffers from corneal opacity, the Dangis crush the flowers of "kaatar" and extract a juice to treat it. This juice is collected in a vessel and then put in the eyes, drop by drop. It is also smeared on the eyelids. This practice cures about 99 per cent of the corneal opacity. It is a traditional practice. |
