Hi Jake, I did ask the doctor why I should stop drinking tea. He said it dehydrates you because of the caffiene.

And this is the same doctor that said your eye pressure of 22 was OK? This sounds like a person that does not keep up with science. I know this was written in 2020 but everyone reading this should know that in 2023 it has been found that caffiene in amounts found in a cup of tea or coffee does not cause "dehydration" to any appreciable extent. So keep drinking your tea. Someone here wrote that tea is actually helpful for glaucoma. I wish people would put a reference link with facts like that. I will have to research that statement because it sounds encouraging.
