Can Omega-3 Help Dry Eye?
Posted By Dr. Risa Schulman On March 9, 2011 @ 6:16 am In Dry Eye,Nutrition,Research | Comments Disabled
The February issue of Cornea reported that omega-3 reduced dry eye symptoms in 70 % of patients and increased tear volume and flow.
The omega-3 was supplied as a fish oil dietary supplement containing EPA, DHA and flax seed oil, and was taken on a daily basis for 3 months.
The pilot study was performed at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, Dallas, TX.
The abstract of the study can be found here [1].
Let’s see if Wild Eye copies this.
