Title: Dry eye
Post by: Zanybrainy on July 30, 2007, 07:47:55 am
Dry eyes seem to be a common complaint.  I started using 4 grams of fish oil a day to reduce my cholesteral and my eyes are much better.  I also supplement with 2 each of 50mg hyaluronic acid.  I was thinking it was all in my head that it was working (isn't everything?) but I have experimented and it is definitely working for me.  The dry eye is a hugh problem.  When my eye is dry, I contract  my cheek to half close my eye and then my face is even more out of shape. Hope this helps. Blessings, Cath

HMMmmmm - I take 2 grams of fish oil a day - are there any limits on amount taken? effects of too much??  The hyalurnoic acid is a new one on me - I geuss it helps dry eye?  I'll have to check that out.  A co-worker of mine with dry eye syndrome was told flaxseed oil.  I told her I had heard fish oil is better, but she said the flaxseed helps with dry eye.  Anyone know about flaxseed?  Time for me to start googling these things....

I know about flaxseed oil.... it's a big booster in autoimmune stuff.... some people i know use it to prevent spread  in rsd... i figure basically you are looking at an anti-oxidant picture etc..... from what I know it can't hurt, it might help.... but look at your total picture... had a longer comment but figured i'd keep it short here lol....

 as a by the by, heart op surgeons have used vit C ( an antioxidant) to prevent things post op.....

antioxidants help keep us healthy (ier).....
