One reason your eye doctor may have told you to stop drinking tea is because many believe it increases your pressures. I find this odd since people who regularly drink tea seem to have a lower incidence of Glaucoma. However ocular hypertension and glaucoma are two different animals so I'm wondering if it's bad for Occular hypertension but good for Glaucoma? have you asked your ophthalmologist specifically why he told you what he did about the tea. Also it appears that tea may increases the production of tears although I don't believe this research is conclusive yet. Ocular hypertension or high inter-ocular pressure are different. Ocular hypertension leads to glaucoma and the glaucoma diagnosis is when there is actual damage that impairs your vision.
Best of luck,
