More Doctors Recommend Fish Oil for Benefits to Eye Health

Fish oil is one of the most effective preventive medicine treatments in the US and around the world.

Doctors often recommend fish oil supplements to their patients who have a variety of complaints from arthritic pain and inflammation to various heart problems. In many European countries, fish oil supplements are routinely given to patients after heart attacks to prevent a second attack. Millions of patients take supplements to prevent health problems. More doctors are beginning to recommend supplements with omega-3 which are taken in the form of fish oil supplements.Omega-3 supplements contain DHA and EPA, with DHA being the most important of these two.

In an interview for an Ohio newspaper, optometrists had positive comments about these supplements. Steven Meadows, O.D. said that he recommends omega-3 essential fatty acids to patients either by consuming fatty fish three or four times a week along with ground flaxseed in foods, or omega-3 supplements. Another prominent eye surgeon said, “Patients diets must pay more attention to vitamins and omega-3 supplements to prevent future eye problems.”

Eye problems that can be prevented by fish oil are the following:
1. Dry eyes – patients who take supplements tend to have better tear quality
2. Cataracts
3. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
4. Retinal damage
5. Though to decrease the risk of glaucoma and high eye pressure

Studies have found that infant eye development is enhanced by DHA which is found in fish oil. Premature babies who were fed DHA supplements had better vision at two and four months when compared with those who were not fed the supplement, according to researchers at Harvard School of Public Health. It has been found that natural breast milk contains elements of DHA. A top obstetrician said, “I have been recommending omega-3 supplements to my patients from the fourth month of pregnancy on for some time because the developing baby’s eyes depend on them for proper development.”

Omega-3 has been found to be of great importance to adults as well in study after study. Those who eat fatty fish three or four times each week may not require the supplements, but supplements are often safer because the harmful mercury and other chemicals in the fish oil are removed before manufacturing fish oil capsules. Consumers should research the company that they purchase supplements from to be sure that this process is closely followed.
