Fish Oil Claims Not Supported by Research

What I'm really curious about is the research for fish oil and dry eyes. After I had lasik, I was told to take fish oil 4 times a day for a long time. My dry eyes seem to have gotten better, but I don't know whether that is due to the fish oil or from just a general recovery.

I use fish oil for dry and red eyes and I also notice a big difference. Seem to notice, I suppose...

I've never had any issue with dry eyes.

I started taking fish oil (algae oil actually, but the active ingredients are identical) a month before my LASIK surgery and continue to take it today, and I've still never had any problems with dry eyes, including immediately after the surgery.

So, can't say whether it helped or not, but it certainly hasn't hurt.

I'm kind of curious, which brand do you use?

Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega. My eye doctor was specific on this brand--emphasizing the EPA and DHA levels.
