I'm useing Optive Omega Drops comes in ampules, says contains Linseed oil & other 2 ingredients. Is it a good choice? But will get Omega 3 & 6 capsules.
How's GreenPeople's omega-3 oil?
I'm using Nature's Branch Omega-3 triple strength, 4 caps which gives me about 2920 mg per day. This works out to $24.95 per 6-week period over Amazon. Of course when I looked through the fine print I couldn't find any data concerning the sourcing, but it does say it's 'wild-caught'. However, I get my Omega-3 tested through OmegaQuant Analytics and as of last November my scores were 12% for Omega-3 index, and 2.5:1 for Omega-6:Omega-3. These scores seemed pretty good to me so I think the Nature's Branch may be working. Additionally, my dry-eye condition seems to be improving over recent months. Also my rather high levels of mercury have come way down after giving up tunafish which I used to snack on right out of the can. Thank you for your information and I have subscribed.
I take Spring Valley you can buy at Walmart it's amazing brand BEEN on it for 2years the Body needs 🐟 oil daily blood pressure is amazing because of 🐟 oil great supplement
I take cod liver oil, because in addition to omega 3, I also need vitamin A. I take Nordic Naturals.
I suffered dry eyes for so many years. I took fish oil, flaxseed oil, eat fish, and followed what Dr.suggested eye drops, and to use warm towel over eyes, nothing help.
I took 1 tsp of cod liver oil every day for 5 months. My dry eyes is now cured.
Amazing eye Dr. never suggested that.

The prettiest and smartest woman on the internet is you! Thank you for contributing to our lives and help us!
I had severe dry eyes! Was so painful and sore everyday and so sensitive to sunlight. Really affected my quality of life. Also was told by opticians and doing research that dry eye is not curable and you can only treat the symptoms with eye drops. Was referred to ophthalmology by my opticians as my eyes were severely dry for them to work with. Was put on strong medications. Medications only worked for as long as you used them. Stopped having ophthalmology appointments due to covid. Tried cod liver oil and OMG it is a cure!!! My eyes were 80% dry to start with and after having a checkup recently my eyes are not dry at all. Please try cod liver oil. I know how painful it is to have dry eyes and really wanna share my experience! Thank me later ❤
Hi, S. Your comment is interesting. Can you tell me what brand of cod liver oil you are taking, if you don't mind? Thanx!

Thank You for sharing all the information, very helpful 🌻
This is exactly the information I was looking for. Thanks for such a clear and helpful video, Doc. Also, has anyone else told you your voice is strangely soothing? Feels like a case of accidental ASMR.
I was thinking the same thing.
Another great video! 🤯
Thank you for the tips
Thank you Doctor! I’m eating sardines and cod liver. Thank you for the excellent product recommendations!
Thanks for information!
Thank you dr Tai your very good information ♥♥♥♥♥
Dear Dr.Tai,
I love listening to your nice voice and watching your beautiful face / eyes when you talk.
My daughter does tear care every month and now her dry eyes are getting better now.
Thank you for sharing Dr. Audrey 👍👍👍. Can you please do a video on other supplements such as lutein, zeaxanthin etc?
Stay tuned for a future video on this topic. Thank you for your comment.
Thank you. This is very useful. My dry eyes are driving me mad so I ordered the Nordic Natural and the drops to see if they make a difference.
did they make a difference ?>
Can you have a video on Ocular Migraine , thanks
I have tried taking fish oil a couple of decades ago and could not do it due the horrible after taste if I burped. I have been vegan now for 3+ years and was considering the Nordic Naturals Lemon fish oil. I was willing to try it due to the extensive benefits and while most say the taste is tolerable, I figured I could get past it. I did not know there was a vegetarian/vegan friendly version for PRN either. However, if I have to step off of the vegan trail for an excellent fish oil supplement, I will do it. learned a lot, thank you so much for making this as I do suffer from dry eye that started about 6 months ago (I just turned 60, might be part of aging), in addition to the help with inflammation. Thank you!
I use Rosita cod liver oil it is cold press so no heat to damage the oil been feeling a difference since I started using
Vitamin A is also very essential for dry eyes
Yes, if your taking blood thinning medications consult with your MD.👍
Hi Dr. Audrey, would you recommend taking omega 3 for people with CABG operation done

Thank you
I really appreciate your explanation of the hows and whys of products and our bodies’ ways of processing them. Thank you!
I take Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega capsules. Taking capsules instead of liquid, for me, insures I’ll take them. Though I really understand the benefits of the liquid, convenience weighs out for me. 😊
I am taking Focus Relief Plus.
Hi Dr Tai. Could you talk about blephorospasm. I have spent 20 years searching for answeres about my condition. Thank you for creating this wonderful channel of information. Emil.
That’s a good topic for a future video. So stay tuned.
Thanks for the video as it was the most informative I have seen on fish oil or salmon oil. I am looking at starting to take salmon oil since my triglyceride levels came back a little high. Do you think this would help bring them back down? Thanks again

Hi ..madam ..what is the best home readymade for the very dry eyelids ..thats my problem..please help me ...thank you & God bless u
I have been taking Thera Tears Eye Nutrition Omega 3 (three soft gels per day for a month so far). I see it is not on your list and you are critical of non-liquid varieties. Only a month of using it, and I am sure is not enough time to determine if it works. Using drops since beginning of the year (currently Refresh Digital) which are definitely helpful. Also been using the Bruder eye mask everyday for a few months. My condition appears to be the mix form of dry eye, mostly my left eye. My eye docs say my glands are a little clogged (more so my left eye). The tear ducts (where tears evacuate) in corner of my eyes a little blocked (particularly left eye). Last year I began noticing blurry vision in my left eye and when patted with kleenex a lot of moisture on the kleenex. Came on pretty suddenly. Prior to that my eyes were ok, but I did notice irritation on and off over recent years and intermittently used regular artificial tears from various companies, Systane usually. I am in my mid sixties, so I guess this is at least partially an age issue.
i am taking Biomega from Usana, it is the best omega 3 oil in the market
taking Krill oil. This any good?
What are your thoughts on taking RX Lovaza fish oil?
Vitamin a plus fish oil has cleared my eyes up.
I am taking De3 fish oil
Dr. Tai, thanks for your excellent presentation. I would like to know: how long have to take it, or better, doe’s help for the senile eyes? How long does it take for relief? And about Cataract disease? Thanks for your help.
Studies have shown OMEGA 3 oil is beneficial for dry eye disease, but no conclusive evidence for cataract prevention.
I thank you so much Dr.Tai for the informative video about Omega for dry eyes. I enjoyed it; However, you did not mention when the best time of the day to take it ; morning or evening , before or after meals.
I hope you can explain to everyone to get the best benefits of taking liquid omega.
Many thanks,
Saud
Thank you for your kind words. You can take Omega-3 supplements at any time of day, depending on when it works best for you. It is better to take it with a meal that contains fat to increase absorption. I hope this helps.
Have suffered from deliberating watery eye (blepharitis) for almost 10 years. Been to see 2 eye specialists multiple times who put me on all the conventional treatments several times, including antibiotics. Nothing worked and it was booked in for a DCR operation in a couple of months. On seeing this video I thought I would give a high quality omega 3 a try. 3 months on 2-3 grams of omega 3 did nothing for me. As a last resort I upped the omega 3 dose to 5 grams a day of the best quality oil I could find. After 60 days my watery eye symptoms had almost disappeared. I have been symptom free for 2 months now and am continuing on 5 grams of oil every day. High dose omega 3 has been life changing for me. Thank you for making this video! I take Nordic Natural fish oil and eat sardines every day.
Thank you for sharing.
Isn't 5 g too risky?
Omega 3 consists of functional health benefits not only for dry eyes but also beneficial for overall health concerned.
I'm taking Kirkland Fish Oil.
This enlightens me on Omega 3 benefits for dry eye syndrome. Did not know the difference between ALA & EPA + DHA. If only 5% of ALA is converted to EPA & DHA in triglyceride form, what's happening to rest of the ALA. Depending on that we can rate the benefits from flaxseed consumption. Thank you.
Hii
Dang, the credibility won't even fit on my phone screen! Amazing!
Dr quick question. I take life extention high dose fish oil
Nature bounty omega 3 fish oil , is it good ?

Hey, i can not but the liquid form from PRN here in the Netherlands, should i buy the capsules from PRN or get the liquid form from Nordic? also when taking this much omega3 doesn't that get the ratio omega3 to 6 out of balance? and btw you mention that you also use the PRN omega 3, do you also have dry eyes or do you just use it to prevent dry eyes?

Great video doctor and thank you. Just a follow-up question to the cod liver comments. Is it better to take omega-3 or cod liver or can I take both to see the results? It looks like cod liver seems more miraculous than omega-3, at least from the quotes below. Thinking in advance.

Please, you may have to go down to the very cheaper types of fish oil in capsules to make your texts GREAT for different kinds of people. There must be good cheaper ones in capsules at Walmart.
I take Carlsons cod liver oil, used it for years recommended by my cardiologist. Would like your feedback John Olenik
Hi Dr. Tai, thank you for the great video! I noticed that the fish oil options you recommended contain much more EPA than DHA, but the vegan option you recommended has much more DHA than EPA. From googling I've read that a higher EPA to DHA ratio is potentially better for dry eyes, but all the vegan omega 3 options I have seen have much more DHA than EPA. Is there somehow a difference on what the ratio should be depending on the source of the omegas? Any info would be much appreciated! :)
You are correct that studies have shown that Omega 3 supplements with high EPA content may have a better therapeutic effect for dry eyes. The vegan supplement option has a lower EPA to DHA ratio due to that it is sourced from algae instead of fish, but it still contains a very high concentration of EPA. I hope this helps.
Whattime is the best time to take fish oil.
I've been having dry eyes for long years I used a lot of drops artelac, hyro and refresh

This monotone voice is good for helping people fall asleep. I actually listened to the ad bc it was cheerful. If you take a statin and beta blocker- check with your reg MD first.also what abt co q 10?
Amazon is known for having warehouses that get too hot in the summer. Wouldn’t that denature the omega 3 fish oil products, making them less effective? Is so, perhaps you might want to consider changing your links to a vendor that has better warehouse temperatures.
How about omega 3 from krill oil

Do you recommend one for that doesn't have soy in it? I am highly allergic to soy.
Although ingredients listed on a product label may not contain soy, the product may be processed in facilities that process soy, I would recommend contact the manufacture directly to confirm if a product contains soy or soy derivatives.
Thank you so much.
Thank you Doctor.

Is it too much tongue and cheeck, to point out Dr Tai is easy on the eyes, while she educates us ?
As so often with many natural supplement videos, the suggested therapeutic dosage is what was used in clinical trials and is hugely expensive and unaffordable to many people. These videos never offer inexpensive daily dosages of some supplement because they nearly always are based upon what was used in clinical trials. Sorry, but this kind of video is useless for lots of people who cannot afford to take such high daily doses that cost the earth.
