What are the benefits of Omega 3?
Your surgeon will speak with you about the benefits and risks involved before your procedure.
Benefits of Omega 3:
Omega 3s are an important oil required for optimal meibomian gland secretions. The meibomian glands located in the lids produces oils which should have the consistency of Olive oil readily mixing with tears reducing evaporation. Abnormal oil production from the meibomian glands results in a condition known as meibomian gland disease or dysfunction (MGD) and accounts for 80% of dry eye conditions. These essential triglyceride oils promote the production of healthy oily secretions, which helps to protect tears from evaporating too quickly and thereby improving dry eye [REF 1 and 2]. Omega 3 is also crucial for retinal health and has anti-ageing benefits[REF 3 and 4] making this an essential supplement.
Many with evaporative dry eye find they tear excessively when they are out in windy conditions. Good oils preserves the tear film even in windy and dry conditions.
Omega-3 fatty acid supplements, including fish oil and DHA/EPA formulations, are generally safe for most people and may support eye health and dry eye management; however, potential risks can include mild digestive symptoms, increased bruising or bleeding risk at higher doses, and possible interactions with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications. Individuals with bleeding disorders, those preparing for surgery, or patients taking blood-thinning medication should seek medical advice before starting omega-3 supplements. As with any nutritional supplement, dosage, underlying health conditions, and overall treatment goals should be discussed with a qualified clinician to ensure safety and suitability.
Why is there excessive tearing when the eye is dry?
Tears evaporate in windy conditions, the eye becomes dry which is a stimulus for the lacrimal gland (the gland that produces tears) to go into overdrive and produce a lot of tears in an uncontrolled manner. This is known as “reflex tearing” – a reflex to a dry eye surface.
What other benefits are there to taking Omega 3 supplements?
Omega 3 fatty acids are critical components of cell membranes including those of the retina. Studies performed demonstrate s lower risk of developing age related macular degeneration (ARMD) and also diabetic retinopathy. They have also been shown to inhibit abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina [REF 5]. There has also been reports of benefit in those with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia reducing the rate of cognitive decline [REF 6].

Patient Success Stories
Such great care and service here. I had a household accident last week and came to get my eye looked at, which they went out of their way to accomodate on the same morning of ringing. The team is amazing, the admin, nurses, and consultant were really kind and caring. The follow up care has also been great with calls after a week to check how I’m getting on. Everyone has been so warm and friendly, a huge heartfelt thank you!

The best decision ever! My eye treatment at Centre for Sight has changed my life and enhanced my confidence. Having trifocal lenses implanted by Mr Sheraz Daya has restored my eyesight and I no longer need to use any lenses for reading, driving or any other activities.
From my first encounter with Mr Daya and his team at Centre for Sight, I felt most reassured that I was getting a very professional opinion and treatment. The day of the procedure was made much easier by the comforting support provided to me by Dr Espinosa whilst Mr Daya was performing my eye surgery. Overall, a fantastic experience and a great result.

Really proffesional
The professionalism I experienced right the way through the process was just brilliant. With all the testing prior to surgery, I felt very sure that I was doing the right thing. Saj Khan was not only very proffesional, he was also quite funny, which put you at ease.

A heartfelt thank you also to his team: Adora and Teresa, who have supported me from my very first appointment and always make me feel welcome, and Katie, Debra and Alex at Grinstead, who cared for me during surgery and helped me through one of the most anxious times of my life.
I cannot recommend Dr Daya and his team enough. For anyone who is unsure or afraid of taking this step — please know this really can change your life.

Initial tests were very thorough and the recommendations clearly set out. The operation itself was quick and painless. All the staff were friendly and professional. The aftercare was faultless.
