Over the last couple of years there has been much discussion, as well as some disagreement, about the role of Omega-3 intake and dry eye. It is currently believed by most dry eye experts that a full days supply of Omega-3's can increase tear production and decrease dry eye. In my book I discuss this at length as well as the amount and types of Omega-3's to take.
In a recent issue of Cornea: The Journal of Cornea and External Disease a study was presented that investigated this. The result of the study by Wojtowicz JC, Butovich I, et al. showed that after a 90 day trial, 70% of dry eye patients taking oral Omega-3 supplements had improvement in their dry eye symptoms. They also showed an increased tear volume in their eyes as measured by several clinical tests.
As with all supplements you should consult your physician before taking them, however Omega-3's are believed to help with dry eye as well as having many other health benefits.
