Dry eye disease is a common ocular condition that affects millions of individuals globally. The condition may manifest as a variety of symptoms, including a burning sensation in the eyes, sensitivity to light, redness, blurred vision, or eye fatigue. While the most common remedy is artificial tears, mEYEspa’s guide says that omega-3 fatty acids can play a role in preventing the disease from occurring or progressing.

According to the guide, EPA and DHA, both of which are long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, are essential for many bodily functions. They have been extensively studied for their role in reducing the risk of heart disease, supporting mental health, decreasing joint inflammation, and boosting immune function. Because the nutrient is known to enhance oil layer production and have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, patients with dry eyes are often recommended to increase their daily intake of omega-3 to manage their symptoms.

Omega-3 cannot be synthesized naturally by the body, but mEYEspa’s guide says that it can be obtained from food sources such as salmon, tuna, and other oily fish; one meal of oily fish per day is enough to satisfy the body’s requirements. However, the guide advises readers to first measure the current levels of omega-3s in their bodies to establish a personal baseline. One direct-to-consumer test that mEYEspa recommends is the Omega-3 Index Blood Test by OmegaQuant, which provides consumers with a trailing three-month history of EPA and DHA levels in red blood cells – a more reliable metric than the naturally dynamic omega-3 levels in blood plasma.

Because omega-3 is metabolized differently by every individual, mEYEspa advises readers to retest their omega-3 levels regularly to determine whether they need to adjust their intake. Although consumers who increase their consumption of the nutrient will not see results immediately, mEYEspa says that many can expect reduced dry eye symptoms after three months.
