societies, and governments, and diet is a prominent aspect in this context. Whenever we talk about an eye-healthy diet, we cannot avoid talking about omega-3 fatty acids.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever wondered &#8211; Can omega-3 indeed enhance eye health, and if yes, how to include them in your diet? In this blog, we\u2019re going to enlighten you about the link between your eyes and omega-3. Here, we go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Omega_3_Fatty_Acids\"><\/span>What are Omega 3 Fatty Acids?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Omega-3 fatty acids are a class of essential polyunsaturated fats that your body needs for vital functions, but cannot produce them on its own. So, they must be included in diet or taken as supplements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Omega-3_Fatty_Acids\"><\/span>Types of Omega-3 Fatty Acids&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three main types of Omega-3 fatty acids &#8211; ALA, DHA, and EPA.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Type of Omega-3<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Source<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">ALA (Alpha-linolenic acid)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Flax seeds, flaxseed oil, chia seeds, canola oil, walnuts, hemp seeds, and soybean<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid)&nbsp;<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, and sardines), fish oil, some microalgae<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid)&nbsp;<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Fatty fish, fish oil supplements, dairy, eggs, meat<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Consuming adequate amounts of each type may help keep your retinas (eyes), brain, and other parts of your body function properly.

The retina is the thin layer at the back of the eye. It is responsible for capturing and transmitting visual information to the brain. This highlights the link between Omega-3 and eye health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Omega-3_Promote_Eye_Health\"><\/span>How Does Omega-3 Promote Eye Health?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dry_Eyes\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/dry-eyes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dry Eyes<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Omega-3 are known for their anti-inflammatory properties.
