Dry eyes make reading computer screens and driving at night a challenge. Dry eye syndrome is perhaps one of the most common afflictions people go to the eye doctor for. The situation generally presents when there is a problem with the quality of tears that lubricate the eye naturally. There are a number of causes for the syndrome. One of the biggest reasons is normal aging. During the aging process, bodies produce less oil than they used to. When there’s an oil deficiency in the body, it can affect the tear film. Without the oil to seal in the water layer, the eye can become dry and irritated. Other causes include climate, smoke, eye strain and more. And tear production tends to slow with age, sometimes drastically; in fact, the irritation and light sensitivity of dry eye syndrome (DES) affects 3.4% of people in America alone suffer from the problem. But eating fatty fish helped keep eyes lubricated in a new Brigham and Women’s Hospital study of 32,470 women.

Compared with those who averaged less than one 4-ounce fish serving a week, those eating two to four weekly servings cut DES risk by 19%. Five to six servings lowered risk by a whopping 68%. Go for salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel, and halibut.
