Science Based Health is a trusted brand that has been a key player in the dry eye supplement space for a very long time.
Please note that HydroEye has a manufactured date, not an expiration date. It has an estimated 2-year shelf life.
The manufacturer offers a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Money-back guarantees are outside our comfort zone as a business practice for dry eye products. However, we will honor the manufacturer's guarantee so long as you have purchased two bottles and try them for 60 days before evaluating effectiveness, as per manufacturer's policy. Please call or email though rather than using the self-serve portal.
Omega 3 supplements for dry eye have been commonly recommended for people with dry eye ever since (perhaps even before) the famous in 2005 indicated that "a higher dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids is associated with a decreased presence of DES [Dry Eye Syndrome] in women".
We are now offering some Omega-3 supplement options in the Dry Eye Shop as a convenience to customers, knowing that you may well already be using a supplement anyway and thinking that you might appreciate the convenience of buying them here to bundle them with other purchases.
Full disclosure - we are not the pros on this product category! Unlike many other items sold here (eye drops, gels, ointments; goggles & glasses; scleral lens supplies; etc), I cannot claim to have any particular expertise or knowledge in nutritional supplements of any kind. As a business, we're not in a position to give you guidance on which supplement is "best". My goal is to stock a well-reputed brands and offer a range of prices, and thereafter to be guided by customer input about whether to add any more options. I strongly encourage you to ask your eye care provider about their experience and recommendations.
Expectations-wise, my position on supplements tends to be "Think of this as potentially offering you some incremental benefit". Dry Eye Shop attracts predominantly highly symptomatic people, many of whom have chronic and sometimes severe or rare diseases or conditions which often require multiple treatments and remedies to keep one's eyes comfortable and well. In people with milder disease and symptoms, using supplements as a standalone treatment may be more realistic than those with more severe disease and symptoms. As with all dry eye treatments and remedies, be guided by your eye care professional about what is best and safe for you.
