What are the Benefits of Omega-3 for Dry Eyes?
- Reduction of Inflammation: Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), have anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation of the eyes and eyelids is a common factor in dry eye syndrome.
- Improved Tear Production: This has been shown to enhance tear production. Dry eye syndrome often results from insufficient tear production or poor tear quality, leading to discomfort and irritation. Omega-3 supplementation can stimulate tear gland function, increasing tear volume and promoting eye lubrication.
- Enhanced Tear Quality: The fatty acids also improve tear quality. Tears consist of three layers: an oily layer, a watery layer, and a mucous layer. Omega-3s help stabilize the lipid (oily) layer of tears, preventing rapid evaporation and maintaining eye moisture for longer periods.
- Support for Meibomian Gland Function: The meibomian glands, located in the eyelids, produce oils that contribute to the outer lipid layer of tears. Dysfunction of these glands can lead to evaporative dry eye.
- Protection of Ocular Surface: Chronic dry eye can result in damage to the ocular surface, including the cornea and conjunctiva. Nutrasea Citrus Omega-3 for Dry Eye helps protect the ocular surface from damage caused by dryness and inflammation.
- Comfort and Relief: One of the most significant benefits of omega-3 supplementation for dry eyes is improved comfort and relief from symptoms. Individuals experiencing dry eye discomfort, including sensations of grittiness, burning, or itching, often find relief with omega-3 supplementation.
