1) Fatty Acids
Having dry eyes means you are not getting enough essential fatty acids in your diet. Here is a home remedy for dry eyes: take one primrose oil gel capsule or black current seed oil gel capsule 3 times a day with your meals. It is important to take these capsules with meals so that the food can absorb the capsule. These capsules are high in GLA which can be harder for a person to produce when they get older. Black currant seed oil has the highest amounts of GLA of the two. You also want to be taking DHA/EPA fish oil with this to balance out your omega. It will take about a week or longer to see results.
