Eye tissue has a unique biochemical demand for the omega-3 fats, EPA and DHA from fish oil. Omega-3 fats, which are almost absent from typical Western diets, are highly concentrated within the cells of the eye and are necessary to maintain healthy structure and function of ocular tissue.
EPA and DHA promote ocular health by:
· Supporting the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response *
· Supporting tear production *
· Protecting eyes from oxidative damage *
Omega-3 fats keep eye cell membranes fluid and flexible. Studies show that higher intakes of omega-3 fats from fish oil support the production of natural anti-inflammatory molecules that help alleviate ocular symptoms such as dryness, pain, redness, and lack of tear production *.
DHA levels within the eye have been shown to support internal repair systems that operate in response to oxidative stress and inflammation. The protective action of DHA within the eye is associated with decreased likelihood of having age-related damage and degeneration of eye tissue*.
