There are two types of eye 👁️ conditions that can damage your optic nerve: Open angle and Angle closure Glaucoma.

Today we will be looking at the genetic 🧬 predisposition for developing by far the most common: open angle glaucoma (OAG) – or the silent thief of sight as it is often called.

Most people with OAG usually feel healthy and have little to no changes to their vision 👀 as the symptoms usually develop slowly over ⏱️time, and unfortunately, the damage being permanent.

OAG usually manifests and starts reducing your peripheral or side vision, and develops into tunnel vision over time, which will also increase intraocular pressure (IOP) – the fluid pressure within the eye.👁️

There will be various reasons for developing OAG, from genetics 🧬, age, lifestyle (stress and sleep) to even environmental factors such as pollution and ultraviolet 🌞 build-up. And if left untreated, it can eventually lead to blindness.

Glaucoma has a genetic 🧬 association and tends to run in families. Various studies 📚 have now identified the specific genes associated with glaucoma, which luckily allows us to provide unique insights and recommendations to hopefully mitigate for their effect.

Now, why tea 🫖 is so useful.

One of the reasons that your daily 🫖 cuppa might help in reducing glaucoma is through its high concentration of a plant based 🥗 compound and polyphenol called EGCG (Eppy-gallow-CAT-akin gallate)

It’s early days in terms of research, but it’s looking extremely promising so far.
