Green tea may protect against eye diseases
Latest research has confirmed that green tea may protect against glaucoma and other eye diseases. Scientists have found that green tea catechins, known for their antioxidant properties, penetrate into tissues of the eye and are absorbed by the lens, retina, and other tissues. In a study on rats, it was shown beyond a doubt that eye structures absorbed significant amounts of individual catechins and that the effects in reducing harmful oxidative stress in the eye lasted for up to 20 hours.
