Supplementation for Occasional Dry Eye
Posted by EyePromise on Jul 29th 2021
When it comes to eye health issues, occasional dry eye is one of the most common yet underreported. It’s common because it’s influenced by several factors, both internally (tear film function) and externally (environment). For relief, many occasional dry eye sufferers reach for drops, but they require multiple applications and can be dangerous to use over time. A less well-known solution that often brings long-lasting relief is nutrition. In fact, there are specific nutrients that can help relieve occasional dry eye symptoms.
Omega-3s
One common remedy for occasional dry eye is increasing Omega-3 intake. Omega-3s are essential fatty acids found in foods like fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts. These acids offer health benefits that range from brain function to heart health to ocular surface integrity. Omega-3s include EPA and DHA, two important components that are essential to many different bodily functions, but when it comes to Omegas, quality it everything.
Turmeric
Turmeric has become one of those buzzwords lately when it comes to healthy living, and for good reason! It has been used for generations as a healing agent, as it has anti-inflammatory properties. Its active component, curcumin, is a xanthophyll like zeaxanthin and lutein. This nutrient helps support eye health with its antioxidant properties, like reducing oxidative stress that can disrupt healthy eye functions.
Green Tea
Another buzz-worthy ingredient, green tea has skyrocketed in popularity over the last few years due to its potential health benefits. Like turmeric, green tea’s health benefits range from gastrointestinal to ocular surface. Specifically, science demonstrates that green tea extract inhibits a protein called MMP-9, which is a major contributor to occasional dry eye.
Evening Primrose Oil
This one may be less popular than the last two, but that doesn’t make it any less impactful. Evening primrose oil is the oil extracted from a flowering plant. This plant was used as a food source for Native Americans and early settlers in the U.S. That use has extended to creams and supplements because of its numerous health benefits, including eye, skin, hair, and bone health. Evening primrose oil includes an Omega-6 fatty acid called Gamma-Linoleic Acid (GLA), an important anti-inflammatory for a balanced tear film, which is important for relieving occasional dry eye.
Vitamin A
Believe it or not, Vitamin A is important for all-around healthy vision. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for corneal surface and ocular gland health. Vitamin A, found in cheese, eggs, milk, and yogurt, is necessary for the cells in the eyes to produce mucin, an integral layer of the tear film.
How to Ensure You’re Getting the Nutrients Your Eyes Need for Lasting Comfort
These nutrients can be found in the diet, but it is notoriously difficult to eat the amount of all these nutrients every single day to maintain the levels your eyes need. That’s why many eye care professionals, and health professionals in general, tend to recommend supplementation. Vitamins and supplements help to bridge the dietary gap experienced by many of us in the safest, most body-friendly way.
