How it works
VisionPro EPA/DHA/GLA is a targeted nutritional formula designed to enhance natural tear production, maintain healthy tear film composition, and support eye moisture retention. Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, are critical to the hydration and stability of the ocular surface. A large cross-sectional study of 32,470 women demonstrated a strong link between omega-3 intake and improved ocular hydration, underscoring the importance of these nutrients in eye health. Additionally, clinical trials have shown that fish oils provide measurable benefits for tear function and visual comfort, making EPA and DHA essential components of this formulation.
EPA and DHA contribute to the lipid layer of the tear film, where they help maintain its fluidity and viscosity. This lipid layer is vital for reducing evaporation and ensuring the retention of water in the underlying aqueous layer, which keeps the eyes moist and comfortable. By supporting the functional properties of this layer, these omega-3 fatty acids play a direct role in stabilizing the tear film and alleviating symptoms of dryness.
In addition to their hydrating benefits, EPA and DHA help regulate prostaglandin and cytokine balance, promoting the health and function of the lacrimal glands, which are responsible for tear production. This balance is essential for reducing inflammation and protecting the delicate structures of the eye that contribute to tear secretion.
VisionPro EPA/DHA/GLA also includes 75 mg of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) per serving, derived from cold-pressed borage oil. GLA offers unique support for the production of mucin, a key component of the tear film that helps protect and lubricate the ocular surface. Studies have shown that GLA-rich oils contribute to prostaglandin balance and enhance the overall characteristics of the tear film, providing comprehensive support for eye hydration and comfort.
This advanced formula is an excellent choice for individuals seeking to improve tear production, relieve dry eye symptoms, and support overall eye health.
