Note: Dry eye syndrome can be complicated by other forms of ocular surface disease and it is always best to consult with your local eye care professional if you are experiencing any eye pain or vision changes.

Have you ever checked your omega 3 or omega 6 levels in your blood? If so, what were your results?

[Mipo]

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤ I developed severe dry eye and I didn't know how I'd continue living my life. After watching your video I persistently took 1 spoon of high quality fish oil for 6+ months, now I could say my symptoms improved 6/10. This is more than enough to go on with my life.

[ianfortin]

Thx for nerding out and being so thorough and informative.

As kids we were forced to take cod liver oil, but as soon as I grew older I stopped. Started getting sinusitis several times each winter, in my 20's, and then one winter after having had it three times (my doctor always prescribed antibiotics without testing me basically), I started with the cod liver oil again. Never had it again, and I'm in my 50's now.

WOW...I have been taking Omega 3 for several weeks now and I luckily fell upon your channel. I would conform that I have had dry eye syndrome since I can remember and until today since I saw your video I can confirm I my eyes feel sooo much better!! Not squinting as much and no hot towels needed lately. Thank you!

The condition known as " dry eye" actually causes your eyes to be watery ( not dry) because the body is trying to keep the tissue hydrated with tears. Dry Eye isn't caused by lack of tears. It's due to the decrease in an oil- like substsnce that coats the tear- moistened eyeball to prevent the moisture from evaporating too rapidly.

🌺 The one thing I would highly recommend, is to refrigerate your omega 3 supplements, it'll help to keep them from turning rancid.

Pretty severe dry eye symptoms is something I at 75 of age only recently began to experience . . . for the last 3 months. And, I've had cataracts developing for about 2 years. I asked two experienced optometrists if there were any dietary or nutritional inputs which could ameliorate either of these two conditions, and both seemed surprised by the question; and both said no, and both recommended that aside from eventual surgery for the cataracts in the next 12 months or so, only eye drops and mild heat treatment would help . . . for the rest of my life.
This video is, pardon the phrase, a real eye opener. I'm especially interested in the Omegaquant test which I'll followup on. Thanks you, doctor for a well produced video. Very helpful.

[MẮTKÍNHTlTAN]

As kids, we were forced to take fish oil, but as soon as I got older, I stopped. I think now I should take fish oil again for my eyes as well as my health! Thanks for sharing!

[gloriadiflorio]

I was intrigued with your use of the PRN omega 3 supplement, so I tried it. After having suffered with dry eye for many years and just taking any old fish oil product, I have found that this one works. Staying with it for 3 months did the trick! My eyes are very moist and I can read comfortably. Thanks for doing the research!

[sharonrotenizer]

My optometrist recommended the De3 supplement for dry eyes. Since I eat sardines and salmon on a regular basis, she suggested one instead of the full dose. When I was taking the omegas on a regular basis several years ago my dry eye symptoms went away. I know that omega 3 works for dry eyes and will never slack off them again.

[guillandanthony]

I‘ve also been taking Omega 3 and I‘ve noticed that the very dry air in the office does not affect my eyes and contact lenses anymore. I think that it really helps.

[timsager]

I got one for you. My Cardiologist fired me because I told him my heart rhythm smoothed out and my joint ache went away after taking Omega 3 (450mg) of EPA /DHA.
One per day. I rumated why the Medical community hadn't told me about this before? HE took offense. However he's always ready to write a Rx. I told him it's time he retired.

[husmus]

I use to suffer from dry eyes but since I start to taking Omega 3 for the past 3 years, all my health improved including dry eyes. Thank you for this advice

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 have been life changing for me. Thank you for making this video!

[Ltmotley]

I have been taking Krill Oil for a decade but primarily for heart health. This added benefit for eye health that you have explained so well, is a bonus. Also, love your PAC-Man shirt. Appreciate your intelligence, research and diligence. You are helping many people, and we appreciate all you do.

[ChrisHansonCanada]

Omega-3 eliminated my eczema. I take two capsules per day. My skin is now nice and soft and moist. My eyes were also feeling dry and irritated, but are better now. Maybe it's all in my mind, but I think my eyes look brighter and less red.

[DelaneHarman-hkcj]

I had been doing a low carb low fat diet for 3 months. I was working in the garden and after about a minute of work I would be exhausted. I didn’t know what was wrong with me. A friend of mine told me I needed EFA, s (essential fatty acids). I took 4x1700 mg a day. I had more stamina than ever before and my cholesterol levels were evened out. They work!

[HemantMishra-pryv]

Stop wasting viewers time; just say, I had dry eyes; I took omega-3 supplement, and it helped.
