Summary
This narrative review synthesises current evidence on nutritional supplementation strategies for dry eye disease, examining the role of various micronutrients in supporting tear film health and ocular surface integrity. The authors present recommendations for supplement selection based on available clinical evidence, though the review does not appear to evaluate upstream agricultural or food system factors contributing to nutrient availability. The paper contributes to clinical guidance on nutritional interventions for this prevalent eye condition.
Regional applicability
The recommendations for nutritional supplements are applicable to UK clinical and consumer contexts, though UK practitioners would also consider access to evidence-based supplements and integration with NHS treatment protocols. The findings do not address food-based approaches to micronutrient sufficiency, which may be relevant to UK dietary guidance.
Key measures
Types and efficacy of nutritional supplements (likely including omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A, D, E, lutein, zeaxanthin, and other micronutrients) in dry eye disease management
Outcomes reported
The study reviewed and synthesized evidence on nutritional supplement recommendations for managing dry eye disease, including efficacy and current clinical advances. It likely evaluated various micronutrients and their roles in ocular surface health and tear film stability.
