Nourish Your Eyes from Within ๐ฟ
Celebrate Nutrition Month with Healthier Eyes & Happier Vision ๐ฟ
As March and National Nutrition Month is coming to a close, hereโs a reminder that what you eat (or supplement) can directly impact your eye comfort, vision, and long-term ocular health.
If you suffer from dry eyes or want to support your vision proactively, here are 3 quick, nutrition-based tips to protect your eyes:
1. Boost Your Omega-3s ๐
Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation and support healthy tear production. We recommend adding a high-quality supplement containing at least 2,000 mg of a re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) form of Omega-3 to address dry eye issues. If youโre unsure whether your current fish oil supplement is sufficient, we make it easy to find out your Omega-3 levels with a quick, in-office test!
2. Stay Hydrated ๐ง
If your body is dehydrated, so are your eyes. Be sure to stay hydrated by aiming to drink plenty of water each day. A good rule to follow is: take your body weight (in lbs.) and divide that number in half โ the resulting number is how many ounces of water you should be consuming each day. If youโre having trouble upping your water intake, add a hyper-hydration water enhancer, such as Dry Eye Drink. For quick results, book a visit for punctal plugs โ tiny, painless inserts that slow tear drainage, keeping your eyes hydrated longer.
3. Choose Eye-Smart Nutrition Supplements ๐๏ธ๐
Dry eye can be fueled by nutrient deficiencies. Supplements like PRN De3 Omega Benefits and SBH HydroEye provide a science-based blend of Omega-3s, GLA, antioxidants, and more โ highly-purified to remove toxins and specially-formulated to target dry eye symptoms from within. We proudly carry a well vetted selection of eye doctor-recommended eye nutrition supplements:
