|---|---|---|---|---|
| Omega-3 Dry Eye Meta-Analysis | Dry eye involves instability of the tear film, increased osmolarity, and inflammation of the ocular surface. | 3 | Almutairi Meznah S. (2026) | Potential ocular health benefit of short-term omega-3 fatty acids supplementation on the ocular tear film: An observational study |
| Omega-3 Dry Eye Meta-Analysis | When fish consume phytoplankton that feed on microalgae, they accumulate omega-3 fatty acids in their tissues.Omega-3 fatty acids serve as components of the phospholipids that make up cell membranes.DHA is found in high quantities in the brain and retina. | 3 | Almutairi Meznah S. (2026) | Potential ocular health benefit of short-term omega-3 fatty acids supplementation on the ocular tear film: An observational study |
| Omega-3 Dry Eye Meta-Analysis | Such trials are important because omega-3 fatty acids may be a low-risk and cost-effective treatment for dry eye syndrome. | 3 | Almutairi Meznah S. (2026) | Potential ocular health benefit of short-term omega-3 fatty acids supplementation on the ocular tear film: An observational study |
| Omega-3 Dry Eye Meta-Analysis | The tear film has a volume of 3 to 10 μL, a thickness of 3 μm, and a pH of approximately 7.45. | 3 | Almutairi Meznah S. (2026) | Potential ocular health benefit of short-term omega-3 fatty acids supplementation on the ocular tear film: An observational study |
| Omega-3 Dry Eye Meta-Analysis | It is also believed that the risk increases with age but there are more and more cases of the disease among 18–50-year-old age groups because of commonly worn contact lenses and worldwide-used electronic devices like smartphones or computers []. | 3 | Pniakowska Zofia (2026) | Dry Eye Disease: From Mechanisms to Management and Future Directions |
| Omega-3 Dry Eye Meta-Analysis | This process is accompanied by symptoms reported by patients, and its development is associated with tear film instability, increased osmolarity, inflammatory response, and damage to the barrier of the ocular surface. | 3 | Pniakowska Zofia (2026) | Dry Eye Disease: From Mechanisms to Management and Future Directions |
| Omega-3 Dry Eye Meta-Analysis | The aim of the manuscript is to illustrate the pathomechanism and risk factors of DED and to summarize the methods of diagnosis and treatment, including promising solutions that require further development, like smart contact lenses, emulsions, dendrimers or nanomicelles. | 3 | Pniakowska Zofia (2026) | Dry Eye Disease: From Mechanisms to Management and Future Directions |
