Best Value vs. Cheapest Omega-3. What is the most potent product for the $ that we have found?
In clinic, I routinely recommend 1000-2000mg of Omega 3 (EPA + DHA) for dry eye management. Yes - Quality Omega-3 can be expensive so we have analysed the best Value Omega-3's for you.
I hesitate to say "cheapest Omega-3" because low quality Omega-3 have purity, effectiveness and aftertaste issues. All these Omega-3's are quality and vetted by our clinic.
Table below contrasts various mEYEspa Omega 3 options to get to our minimum therapeutic recommendation of 1000mg/day (EPA + DHA rTG form). They are not the 'cheapest Omega-3 supplements' but the best value for quality. See the Blog about Confusing Omega 3 labels for full information.

Most important TIP... Take with food! Without food, even the best Omega-3 supplement for dry eyes will not absorb properly and not deliver the desired result!
Omega 3 dry eye therapy is always used in conjunction with lubricant drops like :Hyabak or I-Drop PUR or HYLO or anti-evaporative products like I-Drop MGD Eye Drops or Thealoz DUO Eye Drops
