Flaxseed oil contains important dietary fatty acids that have multiple health benefits, including prevention or control of dry eyes.  Other benefits include a lower risk of heart disease and a reduction of chronic inflammation that can lead to a variety of serious diseases, including cancer and stroke. Chronic inflammation also has been indicated as an underlying cause of osteoarthritis and Alzheimer's disease.

Daily supplementation of flaxseed oil, when used alone or in tandem with lubricating eye drops, appear to reduce dry eye symptoms, including burning, stinging, redness and intermittent visual disturbances.

In the past few years, researchers have begun to understand the fundamental and crucial role that a certain class of fats, known as essential fatty acids (EFAs), plays in health and wellness. EFAs are called "essential" because the body needs them, however it is unable to produce them. Therefore, essential fatty acids must come from your diet.


There are only two essential fatty acids – alpha linolenic acid (omega-3) and linoleic acid (omega-6).


EFAs support the cardiovascular, reproductive, immune, and nervous systems.
