HydroEye® – Clinically Tested Dry Eye Formula Nutritional Support for Dry, Irritated Eyes Linked to Inflammation, Hormonal Imbalance, and Environmental Stressors HydroEye® is a patented, doctor-recommended supplement for people suffering from chronic dry eye, especially when triggered by inflammation, hormonal changes, aging, environmental exposure, or post-surgical irritation (LASIK). Unlike artificial tears, HydroEye® addresses the root causes of dry eye disease (DED) by supporting tear production, reducing ocular surface inflammation, and stabilizing all three layers of the tear film. Its unique blend includes GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) from black currant seed oil—an omega-6 fatty acid not found in fish or flaxseed oil—alongside omega-3s (EPA/DHA), antioxidants, and essential nutrients. Why HydroEye® Works – Backed by DEWS III Science The TFOS DEWS III Report (2025) highlights the multifactorial and systemic nature of Dry Eye Disease, calling out several biological pathways that HydroEye® directly supports: Chronic inflammation is a central driver of dry eye symptoms. HydroEye® contains GLA, which has been shown to downregulate proinflammatory cytokines and modulate immune response at the ocular surface. Nutritional deficiencies—especially omega fatty acids—are strongly correlated with increased tear film instability and meibomian gland dysfunction. The report identifies oxidative stress and epithelial damage as key mechanisms of tear dysfunction. HydroEye®’s antioxidant support helps protect against this damage at the cellular level. Postmenopausal hormonal changes, one of the most common triggers for dry eye in women, are known to disrupt meibomian gland function and tear lipid balance. GLA supports hormonal modulation and prostaglandin synthesis. LASIK-induced dry eye is linked to neurogenic inflammation and loss of corneal nerve density. HydroEye® is clinically shown to increase lactoferrin, an essential tear protein that protects ocular tissue and supports nerve regeneration. Key Features & Benefits Clinically Tested Formula – Demonstrated to improve tear production and corneal smoothness in a peer-reviewed double-blind study published in Cornea. GLA + Omega-3s – Delivers a powerful anti-inflammatory combination not found in fish or flaxseed oil alone. Supports All 3 Layers of the Tear Film – Helps balance lipid, aqueous, and mucin layers to reduce tear evaporation. Oral Delivery = Systemic Impact – Targets underlying inflammation and gland dysfunction that eye drops can't reach. Ideal for: Aging patients, contact lens wearers, LASIK patients, screen users, and those with hormone-related dry eye. How It Works HydroEye® nourishes the lacrimal and meibomian glands with key nutrients that: Support tear production Stabilize the tear film Reduce ocular surface inflammation Improve comfort from the inside out The cornerstone ingredient, GLA, is an omega-6 fatty acid that converts to anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. It’s not found in common omega-3 sources like fish oil but works synergistically with EPA/DHA to reduce dry eye symptoms and inflammation. Directions for Use Take four softgels daily (two twice a day with meals). Continued use is recommended for 30–60 days for full benefit.  FAQ – Dry Eyes, Inflammation & HydroEye® Q: How long before HydroEye® starts working? Most users experience results within 30–60 days. Consistency is key. Q: Can HydroEye® replace artificial tears? It works differently—HydroEye® supports internal tear production and ocular health, while drops provide surface moisture. Both can be used together. Q: Is it safe for long-term use? Yes. HydroEye® has been used safely for over 20 years and is free of preservatives, dyes, and GMOs. Q: Does HydroEye® help with inflammation-driven dry eye? Yes. That’s its primary mechanism—reducing systemic and ocular inflammation via GLA and omega-3 synergy. Q: Can I take it with other dry eye treatments? Absolutely. It complements artificial tears, punctal plugs, Restasis®, Xiidra®, and more. Q: Is it suitable after LASIK or cataract surgery? Yes. It's shown to increase lactoferrin—a key tear protein—especially beneficial after surgery when tear film function is disrupted. Bottom Line HydroEye® isn’t just another eye vitamin. It’s a clinically tested, inflammation-targeting system for anyone dealing with persistent, inflammation-driven dry eyes. If your dry eye symptoms are tied to stress, hormones, surgery, or aging—HydroEye® helps address the cause, not just the symptoms.
