A recent study has shown that the amount of coffee consumed may impact its health benefits, adding to existing evidence that drinking coffee can have a broad range of positive eye-health benefits.

Research from the Center for Eye Research Australia has potentially found a link between coffee and tea consumption and the thickness of the macular retinal nerve fiber layer. This layer comprises nerve cells that carry visual information. Its thickness is an important indicator of the macula’s health. The macula is a small area in the retina’s center responsible for clear vision, color perception, and the ability to see fine detail.
