"Omega Eye Health is incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Lindstrom as a member of the Medical Advisory Panel. He has been at the forefront of ophthalmology's evolutionary changes throughout his career. As an international lecturer, he also provides a worldwide educational vehicle on the effectiveness of preventing and managing chronic inflammatory diseases including Dry Eye Syndrome and Ocular Surface Disease through the use of nutriceuticals", stated Dr. Michael B. Gross, MD, FACOG, VP and Chief Medical Officer of LifeGuard Health.
Clinical research supports findings that the Omega-3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a natural anti-inflammatory, reduces systemic inflammation, a contributing factor to the irritation and discomfort associate with Dry Eye Syndrome. Also, recent studies from the National Eye Institute in Bethesda, MD found that a higher intake of Omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) was associated with a decreased risk of having neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration.
Omega Eye Health is the industry leader in specially formulated nutriceutical eye care products exclusively for ophthalmologists and optometrists.
