Catechins include vitamin C, vitamin E and it had not been known whether they could aid vision.
But the researchers at Chinese University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Eye Hospital, experimenting on rats, found that the rodents given the tea showed their eyes benefiting from the catechins.
The team concluded: “Our results indicate that green tea consumption could benefit the eye against oxidative stress”.
