“This chronic inflammation is a root cause of dry eye syndrome. Omega-3s can help reduce this inflammation, thus improving tear osmolarity and increasing tear stability. This helps improve the lipid layer in the tear film and prevents tear evaporation.”

Berries

Ms Marchetti said: “Consume a portion of berries each day. Berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries) have significant anti-inflammatory activity due to the presence of antioxidant anthocyanins.

“People who consume berries have lower levels of inflammatory markers than people who do not eat berries.

“Maqui berries, a dark purple fruit native to Chile have been researched for benefit in dry eye with findings that they reduce inflammation and oxidative damage on the eye surface, improve tear production and tear quality.
