Omega-3 Supplementation
for Dry Eyes
Daily omega-3 fatty acids (1–3g EPA/DHA) from fish oil or algae-based supplements to improve tear quality.
How it works
Omega-3s reduce inflammation in the meibomian glands (which produce the oil layer of tears) and improve the quality and stability of the lipid tear film layer.
What to watch for
Effects take months to build up. Algae-based omega-3 available for vegetarians. May have mild blood-thinning effects at high doses.
