Key Points

The central aim is to investigate the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on tear cytokines in patients with low omega-3 index.
Examined patients with dry eye and omega-3 index below 4%
Provided omega-3 fatty acid supplementation
Measured levels of tear inflammatory cytokines
O3FA supplementation led to a decrease in tear inflammatory cytokines.
Patients showed improved biomarkers associated with dry eye symptoms.

Implication

Demonstrates O3FA supplementation decreases inflammatory cytokines in dry eye patients, suggesting therapeutic benefits.

Abstract

This study underscores the potential advantages of O3FA supplementation in decreasing tear inflammatory cytokines in dry eye patients with an omega-3 index below 4%.
