Dealing with dry eye doesn't just stop at treatment devices. Our plates are powerful tools in managing symptoms too. This begs the question: How does food fit into the dry eye puzzle? It's simple. The right nutrients can support tear film integrity, soothe inflammation, and enhance overall eye health. So, let's chew over some grub that'll help those eyes stay lubed up!

Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines are jumping with omega-3 fatty acids. These slick nutrients are essential in maintaining healthy tear film and reducing inflammation which could be contributing to your dry eye discomfort.

If you're nuts about nuts, you're in luck. Chia seeds, flaxseeds, and walnuts are stocked with omega-3s too. They're the perfect crunchy snack for supporting those sparkly eyes.

Don't leaf these out of your diet. Spinach, kale, and collard greens are loaded with vitamin C and E, which can protect your eyes from oxidative stress and may help improve the function of your tear film.

Cucumbers, celery, and watermelons aren't just for summer picnics. These hydrating foods can help maintain adequate moisture levels in your body and eyes, so crunch and sip your way to relief!

Pop some color into your diet with berries. Strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries are not only delicious, they're also packed with antioxidants and vitamin C, supporting vascular health, including those tiny vessels in your eyes.

While snacking on the right foods is important, getting specific about the vitamins and minerals that support eye health can supercharge your efforts against dry eye. Let's zoom in on some nutritional superheroes that deserve a spotlight in your diet.

Vitamin A has long been associated with good vision, and for good reason. It's a component of the protein rhodopsin, which helps the eyes see in low light conditions. Find it in sweet potatoes, carrots, and butternut squash.

SThis anti-aging powerhouse does wonders for the eyes too. It's found in citrus fruits, bell peppers, and broccoli, and works as an antioxidant to fight off eye-damaging free radicals.

Avoiding nuts? Missing out on vitamin E could make dry eyes worse. This vitamin, present in almonds and sunflower seeds, wards off ocular inflammation and supports cell membrane integrity.

Zinc's the secret ingredient in this eye-health cocktail. This mineral, found in abundance in oysters, beef, and pumpkin seeds, plays a vital role in transporting vitamin A from the liver to the retina.

These two nutrients are the dynamic duo in eye health. Leafy greens, corn, and eggs are great sources that can help support the structure of the eye and may contribute to better tear production.

You can't talk about battling dry eyes without giving a nod to good ol" H2O. Hydration is a key element in maintaining the right balance of tears to keep those eyeballs glistening. Let's splash into the importance of water.

Your tears aren't just water, but it's the main ingredient. Without proper hydration, your body can't produce a sufficient tear film, which can lead to dry eyes.

The golden rule is typically around 8 glasses a day, but this can vary depending on lifestyle and individual needs. Listen to your body, and keep a bottle of water handy.

While that coffee or soda might look tempting, caffeine can actually contribute to dehydration. Stick to water and hydrating herbal teas as much as possible.

Drinking water isn't the only way to stay hydrated. Many fruits and vegetables have high water content and other nutrients that promote healthy tear production and overall eye health.

Remember, inflammation is a key player in the game of dry eyes. By incorporating anti-inflammatory foods into your diet, you can tackle this issue from the inside out. Let's check out some of the best culinary inflammation fighters.

These spices not only add a punch to your meals but also contain powerful anti-inflammatory properties that might reduce dry eye symptoms. Time to spice up those dishes!

Yup, fatty fish make a second appearance for their strong anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. Grill, bake, or steam a delicious piece of fish to reel in those benefits.

Beans, lentils, and chickpeas not only fill you up, but their high fiber content and protein can help dampen inflammation throughout the body, including your eyes.

The rainbow on your plate does more than look pretty. The variety of antioxidants in these foods help combat inflammation and can contribute to a healthier tear film.

The gluten-sensitive folks out there might be wondering if that can affect dry eyes. Well, for some, reducing gluten can lead to an improvement in dry eye symptoms. Let's knead through this doughy topic.

Gluten sensitivity means your body can react to gluten-a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye-potentially causing inflammation and discomfort.

For those with sensitivity, gluten can intensify inflammation, potentially worsening dry eye symptoms. If you suspect this, it might be worth trying a gluten-free diet to see if symptoms improve.

Lucky for us, the world of gluten-free foods has expanded. Dive into quinoa, rice, and gluten-free oats to curb those cravings without the gluten-induced inflammation.

If you're considering a switch, consult with a nutritionist to ensure you're still getting all the necessary nutrients. Keep an eye out for hidden gluten in processed foods, and reach for whole-food options.

We"ve ladled out the dietary advice, but let's not forget about our tech star, the iTEAR100 device.
