Um, taking it orally or dropping it in your eye?

(I'm interested because my sister has just had eye surgery and while she is still adjusting to her new vision, she said something about potential dryness)

Just answering all the questions here:

Regular fish oil pills from Amazon or Walmart. My eye Dr recommended it. Just took a couple before bed.

For me the dry eyes started a year after the laser eye surgery. Really only night time was a problem.

The other thing that might have helped was installing a whole house humidifier.

>Regular fish oil pills

Do you mean cod liver oil capsules?

You could try that but just any fish oil capsules.

Thanks.

You just need Omega 3. I like the liquid bottled one that is flavored so it doesn't taste fishy.

Got it, thanks.

Seconded, the difference was stark. I take the generic gel caps.

Was it immediately after the procedure, or later on? It has been several years in my case.

have you used just a fish oil or some fish oil derivative ( high concentrate of omega3, or DHA, etc)?
