And no, you don't have to eat fish to get omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. There are plenty of high quality supplements out there that won't leave you with fishy breath or a weird aftertaste. Look for the words "molecularly distilled" on the label -- this means that a lot of the junk has been filtered out. A fishy taste is a sign of a poorly made product. If you'd rather just eat the fish, the experts suggest seafood no more than twice a week. Learn more about Aimee Amodio  Aimee is a fiction writer... dog lover... music lover...

The options available to me where mechanical (puntcal plugs), pharmacological - Restasis and biological (optimizing my nutrition). My Opthomologist suggested increasing my daily essetial fatty acid intake. I added Flax Seed oil and increased my Omega 3 intake in the form of a fish oil supplements. I take 1000mg three times per day. My eyes have gotten much better. I encourage you to try increasing your Omega 3 intake to alleviate dry eye sypmtoms. Just check to make sure any product includes EPA and DHA, plus vitamin E, which helps the omega-3’s do their work. Keep in mind that you need the right balance of omega-3’s, 6’s and 9’s â€" not more of everything. Be sure your omega-3 supplements are free of lead, mercury, PCB’s and other contaminants. Look for products that are pharmaceutical grade and triple molecular distilled. Community Tags aging, fish, fatty acids, health, omega-3, omega-3 fatty acids, skin care Discuss this article
