"Researchers who studied the effects of omega-3s found that supplementation improved comfort with and without contact lens wear," reports Optometry News. "Percy Lazon de la Jara, PhD, reported here at
Academy 2012 that 45 participants in a study rated their ocular comfort
in the morning and evening with no contact lens wear for 10 days, then
with daily disposable contact lens wear for 10 days. The participants
then took omega-3 supplements for 6 weeks, and the measurements were
repeated, without and with contact lens wear. 'Ocular comfort declines over the day regardless of
whether lenses are worn or not, but the decline was greatest in
magnitude in contact lens wear,' de la Jara said at an academy-sponsored
press conference. 'Omega-3s improved overall comfort ratings but did
not stop the decline at the end of the day,' de la Jara added. 'Omega-3
consumption reduced some inflammatory ocular signs and symptoms in
wearers.'" Read more.
