Do your eyes itch, burn, or become excessively watery on occasion? Then you may benefit from omega 3 supplementation. In a recent study by Wojtowicz JC and associates, subjects with dry eye were given an omega 3 supplement or placebo for 90 days. At the end of the study 70% of the subjects receiving the omega 3 supplement no longer had dry eye symptoms vs only 7% of the placebo group. Schirmer testing and fluorophotometry suggested that the improvement in symptoms were due to increased tear secretion in the subjects that took the omega 3 supplement.
