Best Omega 3 Fish Oil for Dry Eyes | Eye Surgeon Explains (NOT a sponsored video)

[@eyechannelbyeyesurgeon]

Let me know in the comments below if you are taking fish oil or omega-3 oil supplements now, and which ones are you taking 👇.

I'm useing Optive Omega Drops comes in ampules, says contains Linseed oil & other 2 ingredients. Is it a good choice? But will get Omega 3 & 6 capsules.

[@copout1405]

I'm using Nature's Branch Omega-3 triple strength, 4 caps which gives me about 2920 mg per day. This works out to $24.95 per 6-week period over Amazon. Of course when I looked through the fine print I couldn't find any data concerning the sourcing, but it does say it's 'wild-caught'. However, I get my Omega-3 tested through OmegaQuant Analytics and as of last November my scores were 12% for Omega-3 index, and 2.5:1 for Omega-6:Omega-3. These scores seemed pretty good to me so I think the Nature's Branch may be working. Additionally, my dry-eye condition seems to be improving over recent months. Also my rather high levels of mercury have come way down after giving up tunafish which I used to snack on right out of the can. Thank you for your information and I have subscribed.

[@user-zh6uu1vj9p]

I had severe dry eyes! Was so painful and sore everyday and so sensitive to sunlight. Couldnt keep my eyes open when very tired. Really affected my quality of life. Also was told by opticians and doing research that dry eye is not curable and you can only treat the symptoms with eye drops. Was referred to ophthalmology by my opticians as my eyes were severely dry for them to work with. Was put on strong steroid eye drops. Medications only worked for as long as you used them. Stopped having ophthalmology appointments due to covid. Tried cod liver oil and OMG it is a cure!!! My eyes were 80% dry to start with and after having a checkup recently my eyes are not dry at all. Please try cod liver oil. I know how painful it is to have dry eyes and really wanna share my experience! Thank me later ❤

[@3PairDesigns]

I have tried taking fish oil a couple of decades ago and could not do it due the horrible after taste if I burped. I have been vegan now for 3+ years and was considering the Nordic Naturals Lemon fish oil. I was willing to try it due to the extensive benefits and while most say the taste is tolerable, I figured I could get past it. I did not know there was a vegetarian/vegan friendly version for PRN either. However, if I have to step off of the vegan trail for an excellent fish oil supplement, I will do it. learned a lot, thank you so much for making this as I do suffer from dry eye that started about 6 months ago (I just turned 60, might be part of aging), in addition to the help with inflammation. Thank you!

[@nicolemaillet515]

I use Rosita cod liver oil it is cold press so no heat to damage the oil been feeling a difference since I started using

[@steve9189]

Have suffered from deliberating watery eye (blepharitis) for almost 10 years. Been to see 2 eye specialists multiple times who put me on all the conventional treatments several times, including antibiotics. Nothing worked and it was booked in for a DCR operation in a couple of months. On seeing this video I thought I would give a high quality omega 3 a try. 3 months on 2-3 grams of omega 3 did nothing for me. As a last resort I upped the omega 3 dose to 5 grams a day of the best quality oil I could find. After 60 days my watery eye symptoms had almost disappeared. I have been symptom free for 2 months now and am continuing on 5 grams of oil every day. High dose omega 3 has been life changing for me. Thank you for making this video! I take Nordic Natural fish oil and eat sardines every day.

[@igregmart]

I have been taking Thera Tears Eye Nutrition Omega 3 (three soft gels per day for a month so far). I see it is not on your list and you are critical of non-liquid varieties. Only a month of using it, and I am sure is not enough time to determine if it works. Using drops since beginning of the year (currently Refresh Digital) which are definitely helpful. Also been using the Bruder eye mask everyday for a few months. My condition appears to be the mix form of dry eye, mostly my left eye. My eye docs say my glands are a little clogged (more so my left eye). The tear ducts (where tears evacuate) in corner of my eyes a little blocked (particularly left eye). Last year I began noticing blurry vision in my left eye and when patted with kleenex a lot of moisture on the kleenex. Came on pretty suddenly. Prior to that my eyes were ok, but I did notice irritation on and off over recent years and intermittently used regular artificial tears from various companies, Systane usually. I am in my mid sixties, so I guess this is at least partially an age issue.

Thank you. I take love your short videos.

[@sarahwaterman9501]

Hi Dr. Tai, thank you for the great video! I noticed that the fish oil options you recommended contain much more EPA than DHA, but the vegan option you recommended has much more DHA than EPA. From googling I've read that a higher EPA to DHA ratio is potentially better for dry eyes, but all the vegan omega 3 options I have seen have much more DHA than EPA. Is there somehow a difference on what the ratio should be depending on the source of the omegas? Any info would be much appreciated! :)

[@eyechannelbyeyesurgeon]

You are correct that studies have shown that Omega 3 supplements with high EPA content may have a better therapeutic effect for dry eyes. The vegan supplement option has a lower EPA to DHA ratio due to that it is sourced from algae instead of fish, but it still contains a very high concentration of EPA. I hope this helps.

This enlightens me on Omega 3 benefits for dry eye syndrome. Did not know the difference between ALA & EPA + DHA. If only 5% of ALA is converted to EPA & DHA in triglyceride form, what's happening to rest of the ALA. Depending on that we can rate the benefits from flaxseed consumption. Thank you.
