Relieve Dry Eyes in 3 months?!
No more temporary solutions
If you suffer from dry eyes, you know how this condition can impact your everyday life.
It can cause your eyes to sting, burn, and itch, can make you sensitive to light, and can lead to blurry vision.
It can also make driving at night practically impossible.
It’s easy to reach for eye drops (or artificial tears) for some relief.
The problem is that while eye drops provide a temporary solution, they don’t solve the problem… and they’re not meant to be used long-term.
But there are natural sources that have been shown to improve this condition from the inside out.
In fact, there’s a new supplement on the market that’s been shown to significantly improve symptoms in patients with severe dry eye disease in just three months.
You’re probably already familiar with omega-3 supplements, but this new supplement is unique because it combines both omega-3s AND omega-6s.
For this study, adults with moderate to severe dry eye syndrome took either a placebo or a fatty acid supplement that consisted of:
- 1,200 mg of EPA
- 300 mg of DHA
- 150 mg of linolenic acid
The researchers used the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) to determine effectiveness. This test assesses factors such as light sensitivity, blurred vision, and painful eyes, and the level of difficulty performing tasks like driving, reading, or watching TV.
After three months, the fatty acid supplement group dropped an average of 13.4 points on the OSDI scale.
And HALF of the group taking the fatty acid supplement who had the worst scores at the start of the study (greater than 52) experienced significant reductions of over 20 points.
The treatment group also increased their omega-3 index blood test scores by 34 percent (indicating a significant beneficial increase in omega-3 blood levels).
These results indicate that this unique supplement could be especially beneficial for people with a more severe form of dry eye disease.
Now, I should point out that these patients were able to continue using artificial tears as needed throughout the study.
So, we don’t know whether the individuals were able to use less eye drops, or whether they experienced greater improvements while also using the eye drops.
Either way, they reported dramatic improvements in their vision scores that indicate major improvements in quality of life.
That’s a win in my book.
