Find Relief: Why Our AquaOmega Supplement is a Gamechanger for Dry Eyes
If you struggle with the gritty, burning sensation of dry eye disease, you know that artificial tears often only provide temporary relief. Truly managing dry eye requires addressing it from the inside out. That is why Dr. Jeff Sciberras is thrilled to introduce our newest offering: AquaOmega premium omega-3 supplements.
The Science Behind Your Tears
To understand how omega-3 works, we have to look at the structure of your tear film. Your tears are not just water; they are protected by an outer lipid (oil) layer produced by tiny structures in your eyelids called meibomian glands. When these glands become inflamed or clogged—a condition known as Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)—your tears evaporate too quickly, leaving the ocular surface dry and irritated.
High-quality omega-3 fatty acids serve as essential building blocks that improve the quality of this oil layer, soothe inflammation, and stabilize your tear film.
Why the Form of Omega-3 Matters
Not all fish oils are created equal. Most over-the-counter options come in a cheaper “ethyl ester” form, which is poorly absorbed by the body and often causes an unpleasant fishy aftertaste. AquaOmega utilizes the re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) form. This advanced process mirrors the natural structure of fish oil, making it significantly more absorbed and easier on your stomach.
The superior efficacy of the rTG form is backed by robust clinical evidence. In a landmark multicenter, randomized controlled trial led by Epitropoulos et al., researchers found that patients who took oral re-esterified triglyceride omega-3s experienced a statistically significant reduction in tear osmolarity (a key marker of dry eye severity) and
a major improvement in tear film break-up time within just 6 to 12 weeks. Patients also reported a dramatic decrease in their daily dry eye symptoms compared to placebo.
Elevate Your Eye Care Routine
By delivering a highly concentrated, ultra-pure dose of EPA and DHA in the optimal rTG form, AquaOmega helps rebuild your tear film from within.
