Omega 3 fatty acids: Many studies suggest omega 3s can help with Meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye symptoms in general. However, there are also studies that show no benefit. Despite the mix of study results, many dry eye specialists do recommend improving the diet and omega 3 supplements for dry eye and overall eye health (good for the retina as well).

Note: Dry eye syndrome can be complicated by other forms of ocular surface disease and it is always best to consult with your local eye care professional if you are experiencing any eye pain or vision changes.
