How to choose OMEGA 3 that actually work!

[HOSADOS]

CJ L. To address your query: Many Omega 3 supplements may not be effective. Vegetarian sources like Flaxseed have low bioavailability, and not everyone can convert it into Omega 3. Unlike marine-sourced Omega 3, vegetarian Omega 3 competes with Omega 6 for the same enzyme, so it's not advisable to take...

Omega3 consumption never helped my mgd. There are 1,001 reasons for mgd and omega3 doesnt help all types of inflammation.

New to this forum. The fundamental problem I have is.... I get a considerable amount of white foam/froth or mucus in the canthi (corners) of both eyes non stop throughout the day - photos below:



It is particularly bad in warm environments...

Hey all,

This is a very random one that sort of relates to dry eye....wondering if rings a bell with anyone. I've got medium-ish MGD; mornings are usually ok but by early afternoon they are burning. Xiidra seems to help a bit, as does heat compress. That's step one. Step two is where...

Hi,

Looking to try omega 3s for MGD. Has anyone had luck with a particular brand? Can't say I know a lot about them. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all,

After reading many many many posts about isotretinoin induced MGD, I do believe mine might be a relatively mild case. However, mental health wise... I am struggling coming to terms with a life that might be permanently altered.

I took 40mg for 10 months and after 3...

Hoping not to jinx myself, but it's been five years, so here goes.

I was on this website for two years starting in 2016, suffering in what seemed like endless dry eye hell tunnel. I woke up every two hours from pain, wore moisture chamber glasses that looked like goggles, tried my best...

Hi. I'm a 39 year old male from Netherlands and suffering from MGD.
I am looking for some advice based on my story, as I understand that treating dry eye/MGD/etc. is very personal and may require different strategy/trial & error for each individual

My story starts in 1997 (13...

An update from my end on this topic. May it help someone else.
First of all, I'm still going through the dry-eye/MGD rollercoaster, unfortunately. I'm still trying to find a way to control as good as possible.

I have extensively tried the low-dose slow release 40mg Efracea (which...

Hello everyone,
I registered on this forum 9 years ago when I was on a really dark place, my eyes were killing me, I didnt have much knowledge about dry eyes and I was confused and depressed. Today I feel much better and I remembered this forum (kudos to the owners that you still maintain it!)...

Hi, I never enter his forum anymore since it reactivates old, dark feelings but felt I had to share that I feel that I'm back to living a normal life (I started out as a post LASIK dry eye sufferer with corneal neuralgia). As you can see from my previous posts I have gone through a whole lot of treatments...

I started using it for the first time one day ago, I can tell you this, I am amazed, I feel great,
This is by far the best MGD treatment, I have ever applied.
It is too soon to make a final statement, but it is how it is.
It is day 2, after my first application of Seleniex and I...

[incocell]

There is a company called seleniex from Canada, which offers a ointment, which is a new MGD treatment. This is the same as azura ophthalmics azr-md-001.
AZR-md-001 is in phase 3 clinical trials and will be available in 2 years, but seleneix offers you to buy the same formula right now. I ordered...

Hello dryeyezone community,

Since 2015, I have become intolerant to wearing contact lenses,
so in 2019, I decided to undergo PRK, -3 myopia in both eyes.
After that and till December 2023, I had to apply 4 to 5 times daily
eye drops. In the peak, even 10 times.
In...
