Dry eye is a multifactorial ocular surface system disease, and its pathogenesis is tear film instability, inflammation, tear hyperosmotic and epithelial injury. There are many factors that cause dry eye, such as environmental diet, age and sex, systemic diseases and iatrogenic factors. At present, the treatment of dry eye is mostly replaced by artificial tears. Dry eye is an inflammatory disease. Accordingly, hormone or cyclosporine is selected to inhibit inflammation. Although it has a certain curative effect, long-term use is limited by adverse drug reactions. By improving the diet structure and supplementing Omega-3, the symptoms of dry eye can be improved, without adverse reactions, and it is easy to persist for a long time, which is beneficial to overall health. Studies have found that people with a diet rich in Omega-3 have a lower incidence of dry eye. For example, women who like to eat deep-sea fish have a lower incidence of dry eye than women who like to eat animal meat. The role of Omega-3 in the treatment of dry eye has been clearly defined in the guidelines for the management and treatment of dry eye issued by TFOS on July 38, 1965. Omega-3 can regulate meibomian gland and anti-inflammatory properties, reduce the level of inflammatory factors, keep meibomian gland lipid in liquid state, and assist the regeneration of damaged corneal nerve.
Deep-sea fish are rich in Omega-3, but for patients with dry eye, Omega-3 can be supplemented more efficiently and accurately by adding additional visual nutrients. At present, there are many kinds of Omega-3 supplements on the market, including fish oil and seaweed oil. The latest generation of fish seed oil Omega-3 is extracted from Norwegian wild herring seeds with high raw materials. The molecular structure of fish oil ω-3 is phospholipids, including phospholipid DHA and phospholipid EPA. Phospholipid is a natural component of cell membrane, and supplementation of phospholipid ω-3 can be absorbed and utilized more effectively. Eating oil rich in phospholipid Omega-3, combined with local nursing and treatment measures, has a significant effect on improving dry eye.
