Comment:
Two years in a row my eye doctor told me I had dry eye so I Googled this site and tried flaxseed oil. This year the eye doctor says my dry eye is much better - I my eyes feel much better. I also sleep with a humidifier in the room in dry conditions and use eye drops before I go to bed but I think the flaxseed oil is the biggest help.

I am always very skeptical about "miracle" treatments, but I was very suprised and delighted when I found taking Omega 3 for my dry eyes actually worked! At the end of the day, my eyes are no longer scratchy and painful. You have to take them for at least 4-6 months before you can tell any difference, but you will gradually begin to tell the difference.

I have been using it for my dry eyes as recommended by my Opthamologist. I started it a month ago and heard it was good for immunity as well. Now I have an upper respiratory infection, and am having a hard time knocking it, despite medication from the dr. I don't know if taking this product caused me any harm, so that's why I am checking it out, here.

I have dry eye from lasik surgery. The flaxseed oil helps. I stopped taking it for a month or so and then realized my dry eye was much worse; so a notable difference when taking flaxseed oil. I take 1000 mg 1x per day.
