I was recommended to try flaxseed oil for dry eye symptoms. Does anyone know does flaxseed oil relieve dry eye symptoms?

Some eye care providers recommend flaxseed oil as a nutritional supplement for treating dry eye, but Flaxseed oil of course should be taken orally, and never applied directly to the eye. It contains healthy omega-3 fatty acids thought to help restore the oily portion of a tear film that moistens the eye, though the remedy does not work for everyone. Dry eye symptoms include a sensation of having grit or a foreign object in the eye but if symptoms persist, make sure you contact an eye care provider who might recommend other remedies.
