If you’ve ever struggled with dry eye syndrome, you’ve probably tried artificial tears, warm compresses, eye drops, and lifestyle changes with mixed results. But what if the best natural treatment for dry eyes isn’t another eye drop at all? In this episode of the Dr. Eye Health Podcast , Dr. Joseph Allen breaks down the science behind omega-3 fatty acids for dry eye treatment and why omega-3 supplementation has become one of the most researched natural solutions for improving tear production, reducing inflammation, and preventing tear film evaporation.
