The Omega-3 Index test measures the levels of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically EPA and DHA, in your red blood cells, which are vital for maintaining eye health. These essential fatty acids play a crucial role in supporting the structure and function of the retina, reducing inflammation, and protecting against common eye conditions. Adequate levels of omega-3s have been associated with a lower risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataracts, and dry eye syndrome. By monitoring your Omega-3 Index, you gain valuable insights into how well your omega-3 levels support eye health, allowing you to make informed dietary choices that may enhance visual function and promote long-term eye wellness.
