Improves Dry Eye Symptoms
A lack of tears, or tears of insufficient quality, may lead to a condition known as dry eye. Dry eyes are characterized by a lack of tears, irritation, and fatigue. Along with this, you may also experience a burning feeling, tearing sensation, tugging sensation, and pressure behind your eye. Vision may become cloudy, and you may have increased sensitivity to light and discomfort while using contact lenses.
A dry eye may be influenced by dietary factors as well. The intensity of dry eye symptoms has been linked to an imbalance in the omega-6 and omega-3 ratio. These symptoms are caused by eating too few omega-3s and too many omega-6s.
Several indicators of dry eye may benefit from krill oil. Krill oil may lower salt concentration in tears, known as osmolarity. It also increases tear stability. This can reduce redness, discomfort, and blinking associated with dry eyes. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids such as DHA and EPA may reverse ocular surface abnormalities, enhance tear film qualities, and reduce the subjective symptoms associated with dry eye syndrome. The astaxanthin composition of krill oil may boost tear production and improve tear film integrity by lowering tear-reactive oxygen species.
