01
Fish Oil Triple StrengthModerate
85% match
High-dose EPA/DHA omega-3s improve meibomian gland oil quality and reduce eyelid margin inflammation, with several RCTs showing benefit in meibomian gland dysfunction and posterior blepharitis.
SuggestedConcentrated triglyceride-form fish oil delivering a high combined EPA+DHA dose
02
Fish OilModerate
78% match
Standard EPA/DHA omega-3 supplementation supports tear lipid layer stability and dampens the chronic inflammation underlying meibomian gland dysfunction.
SuggestedTriglyceride-form fish oil softgels dosed by EPA+DHA content
03
Krill OilLimited
66% match
Phospholipid-bound omega-3s in krill oil have improved tear film stability and eye comfort in dry eye and meibomian gland studies, supporting eyelid gland function.
SuggestedKrill oil softgels standardized for EPA+DHA
04
Flaxseed OilLimited
50% match
Flaxseed provides plant ALA omega-3 and has shown modest benefit for ocular surface inflammation, though humans convert ALA to EPA/DHA inefficiently.
SuggestedCold-pressed flaxseed oil capsules
05
Vitamin ALimited
48% match
Vitamin A is essential for meibomian and conjunctival gland health, and deficiency drives ocular surface dryness and inflammation.
SuggestedPreformed vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) at conservative doses
06
ZincLimited
40% match
Zinc supports skin and gland barrier function and immune defense at the eyelid margin, which may aid recurrent staphylococcal styes when status is suboptimal.
