Dry eye is a condition characterized by a lack of quality tears to lubricate and nourish the eye for clear vision.

Oleic acid is a phytochemical in the group of Omega-3, 6,9 fatty acids, belongings to the class of Lipids, found abundantly in evening primrose, borage, blackcurrant, etc.
On finding a potential plant that improves eye vision, researchers examined the effect of essential fatty acids (EFAs) as dietary supplements in treating dry-eye for reducing inflammation at the ocular surface.

* The omega-6 LA (not omega-3 FA) at low concentrations (20 mol%) can be beneficial for enhancing tear stability in dry eye patients.
In other words, out 3 phytochemicals that showed an impact in the treatment of dry eye, only oleic acid exerted a similar effect to those of EFAs.
Taken altogether, OA may be considered a functional fatty acid for the prevention and treatment of dry eye, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
