 after multiple surgeries, this stuff has been a godsend Apr 15, 2007
By Discriminating shopper
Eighteen months ago, I was at a point where I could no longer look at a computer screen without my eyes literally ACHING. My vision was increasingly blurred, and reading was beyond my tolerance, other than for a few moments at a time. This was serious, serious stuff, since I'm an advanced graduate student and have several hundred pages of text to read each week! I finally couldn't tolerate the pain and went in to see my optometrist -- who discovered I had significant corneal scarring from severe dry eye syndrome. Left untreated, I was destined to lose my eyesight. I was immediately scheduled for two corneal surgeries, and I was prescribed Restasis, oil-based lubricants, and a thicker ointment for nighttime lubrication. Plus, my doctor recommended Theratears.
For months, I literally applied drops every half hour throughout the day, and I faithfully used my Restasis and took these Theratears. My reading materials were enlarged to get me through my semester as I awaited surgery. It was a scary time, and I was discouraged, wondering if this would ever improve.
A specialist removed the corneal scarring, and he echoed the sentiments of my optometrist about the use of all of these lubricants AND the Theratears. "It really does make a difference," he assured me. Worse case scenario, he added that we could consider tear duct plugs, if these measures didn't help.
Eighteen months later, I've cut back to once-a-day use of the Restasis, and my multiple-times daily drops are a thing of the past. I still use the night ointment, but otherwise, I rely on Theratears.
If you have severe dry eye syndrome, try this. My specialist even swears by them!

 Thera Tears Nutrition helps my dry-eye problem Jan 14, 2007
By Helen Kemp
I have a problem with dry eyes bad enough to change my ability to read an eye chart significantly. Taking these supplements seems to keep them more moistened and the ingredients are oils I've been encouraged to take anyway.

all i can say is wow Mar 27, 2011
By Ponskippa
i saw these at walmart sometime ago, but i was skeptical about trying them so i passed them up.
i went through just about every eye drop on the shelf and none seemed to help me too much. i was suffering from
severe dry eye. Some days it was so bad i could hardly keep my eyes open and would blink so much that my eyelids and eyeballs
would hurt at the end of the day. i went to see an eye doctor and had no luck getting much help with my condition.
He wanted to run more tests which i could not afford and send me on my way with a baggy full of more eye drops.
I finally read up on thera tears omega 3 capsules and was surprised to see so many people talk highly about them. So i said to
myself, i've tried everything else, might as well give these a shot.
I am about 2 and a half almost 3 weeks into taking these supplements, and i already can feel positive results.
I hope im not jinxing myself lol, but i was using artifical tears about once an hour. I havent used them in almost 3 days now!
i will keep taking these and write a follow up review in a month and see if they still help me with my dry eyes.
I am very greatful for these pills and will most likely continue to take them for years to come.
One side note, i read that some people complained about the fishy burps and aftertaste.
I stowed mine in the freezer, problem solved! No fish burps or aftertaste!

My eye doctor recommended this supplement of vitamins for dry eyes. Excellent product, it does help alot, no more dry eyes. I looked for this product elsewhere in stores.Only Amazon had the product I was looking for. Price is affordable also. Also those omega 3's are good at lower cholesterol levels.So I hear. I haven't checked into that yet.

Thera Tears - I'ved used it for 3 years Jun 05, 2009
By S. Deo
"Sagar"
I'm not gonna write some long review, because I just finished reading the others and they basically say what I was gonna say. Thera tears works for dry eyes flat out. I've been using them for about 3 years. Oh by the way, you know how it says on the boat that it take like 4-6 weeks (or something like that) till you start experiencing the dry eye relief. That is actually true (for me at least.) So don't start taking them for like 2 weeks and then after seeing no immediate effect and just stop, keep taking them. I take 3 a day in the morning as suggested. It does give you fish breath a bit as people have mentioned. but easy way to solve this issue is take your 3 pills in the morning before you brush or swish listerine, completley gets rid of the smell. oh and by the way, the reason i started using it is because my eye doctor noticed i had dry eyes and had scarring on my eyes balls. So he suggested Thera Tears. Plus theirs the whole Fish oil and flaxseed oil benefit which from all i hear is good, but never actually measured by cholestoral or anything like that to confirm that. Anyways, good product. Can't remember the price amazon is charging, but i usually pick it up at walmart for like $12.00 a bottle which includes 90 pills (1 month worth). Oh and yeah when i wake in the morning it really does get rid of the irritation and throughout the day. Seriously gotta say this is an effective product for dry eye. Oh looks like the review was long afterall. :)
