EyeRelief® EFA Complex 1,885 mg

ü  Omega 3-6-9 Fatty Acids (Total) 865 mg

      Deficiencies of omega-3 fatty acids in adults (particularly omega-3) can lead to impaired vision. Studies suggest that prolonged deficiencies may increase the risk of damage to the retina.  EFAs also play a role in helping eye fluids (aqueous) drain, which helps regulate intraocular pressure.  Results from several controlled clinical trials suggest that one fatty acid, gamma-linolenic or GLA may be efficacious for patients undergoing PRK, for those with Sjögren's, or those with general inflammatory dry eye.  Medical research suggests that the GLA supplement produces a noticeable improvement in many patients with dry eye or blepharitis accompanied by evaporative dry eye.

ü  Flax Seed Oil

Flax seeds are rich in essential fatty acids, particularly the beneficial type known as omega-3. These fatty acids work throughout the body to protect cell membranes. A recent study has found that flaxseed oil may be as effective as a commonly used dry eye medication (doxycycline) for the treatment of dry eye.  A recent study indicated that flaxseed oil was as effective as doxycycline in preventing dry eye after LASIK. An added benefit is that flaxseed oil has fewer side effects than doxycycline, making it a good alternative.

ü  Borage Oil
Borage oil is extracted from the seeds of the borage plant, and its essential ingredient has been found to be gamma linolenic acid, commonly known as GLA, which is an essential fatty acids. Essential fatty acids are compounds required by the human body in order to function, but which cannot be synthesized by the body itself without external assistance. Therefore, we must obtain them through our diets. Borage oil in its purest form is comprised of around 24% gamma linolenic acid, which makes it about the richest source of this essential fatty acid known to man.

ü  Tumeric Root PE 95% Curcumin 80 mg

Tumeric has been shown to exhibit antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antihepatotoxic effects.  It  increases the production of enzymes in the liver that metabolize toxins. This may also explain its anti-inflammatory effects.  Many studies suggest that patients who take curcumin from the tumeric root combined with fish oil prior to and after refractive surgery may have better tear production and less dry eye complications.

Dry Eye

Dry eye syndrome is a common disease in which the eye under-produces tears, produces poor quality tears, or the tears leave the eye too quickly.  A normal functioning eye constantly produces tears to form a tear film, which acts as moisturizer and lubricant providing comfort and quality vision.  For someone with dry eyes, the resulting lack of moisture and lubrication can cause a variety of problems.

Dry eye symptoms may include:

• A burning, stinging, or scratchy sensation in the eyes.
• Intermittent blurred vision.
• Eyes may redden and become easily irritated by wind, smoke, or allergies.
• The eyes may produce stringy mucus.
• Contact lenses may be difficult or impossible to wear.
• Sometimes the eye will over compensate and actually produce excessive tears, and overflow.*

*Though it sounds contradictory, sometimes the eye will actually produce excessive tears, and overflow.  The eye becomes irritated by the lack of lubrication and attempts to cleanse itself with a flood of tears.  This is a similar phenomenon to the tearing that occurs when foreign matter is stuck in one’s eye.

Dry eye syndrome is typically more common in older people and women; however, there are many other factors that can cause this to happen.  A common cause of dry eye can be over the counter and prescription medications such as antihistamines, beta-blockers, diuretics, sleeping pills, pain relievers and many others. For this reason, it is very important to inform your eye care specialist about any medications you are currently taking, which can help the doctor in the proper diagnosis of the disease.

Sometimes the cause is unknown in a case of dry eye.  Known causes of dry eye may be natural, related to a larger condition, or the side effect of certain medications.  Also, tear production often slows down as people get older.  This is particularly common for women after menopause.

There are many treatments for dry eyes including over-the-counter drops, prescription medications, medical procedures, and surgery.  The bodies own natural tears are usually the most effective treatment because they are produced 24 hours per day every day.  In response to this, supplementing the building blocks for good quality tears is very effective in getting ones own tears to be of good quality and effective for reducing or eliminating the symptoms of dry eyes.
