Submitted by dave on Sun, 02/01/2015 - 2:16pm
I just had my Omega-3 Index tested by OmegaQuant, a leader in fatty acid analysis. It is a simple, inexpensive, home-based test. In this post I share my results and provide some discussion of what they mean in the context of glaucoma. I also share my thoughts on the supplements needed to achieve even better test results!

In a prior article about the best foods for fit eyes, I strongly recommended blueberries, grapes and raisins. I said, "According to Dr. Abel, [blueberries, grapes and raisins] contain anthocyanins, which improve night vision. A cup full of blueberries, huckleberry jam, or a 100 mg bilberry supplement should improve dark adaptation within 30 minutes."

Your omega-3 fish oil products may be too low in DHA. Or contain rancid oils and pollutants. Whatever the case is, you want to be sure that you are fully benefiting from your fish oil supplement. Here you can read Dave's advice for selecting a DHA or Omega-3 supplement for the eyes.
