Hot tea helps cure eye disease

The results of an experiment in the United States show that hot tea can help cure eye disease.

People who drink hot tea daily are 74 percent less likely to develop glaucoma, according to the study.

However, experts have immediately emphasized that tea does not cure eye disease on its own, but is another factor that helps reduce the risk of tea in consumers, said the lead author of the study from the University of California, Los Angeles.

According to the lead author of this study, only hot and caffeinated tea is associated with a reduced risk of glaucoma, and ICT and decaffeinated tea have nothing to do with the disease.

Glaucoma refers to a group of diseases that cause fluid to build up in the eye and cause pressure that damages the optic nerve and is a major cause of blindness in adults, said the experts. The connection between tea consumption and glaucoma was discussed.

Some people, such as blacks, people with high blood pressure, diabetes and diseases that affect blood circulation, are more likely to develop the disease, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

According to the United Press, about 1,700 people participated in the study, five percent of whom had glaucoma. Experts found that people who drank hot tea more than six times a week were 74 percent less likely to develop glaucoma.
