mEYEspa recently announced new clinical guidance revealing why most plant-based omega-3 supplements fail for dry eye treatment. Dr. Jason Morris's findings identify specific algae-derived EPA and DHA as an effective vegetarian alternative to fish oil.
-- mEYEspa has published a new article explaining why algae-based omega-3 supplements provide superior dry eye relief compared to flaxseed alternatives for vegetarian and vegan patients.

With 30 years of optometry practice, Dr. Jason Morris addresses a common clinical challenge: the struggle vegan patients face when seeking effective omega-3 supplements for dry eye treatment. He explains that while flaxseed, walnuts, and chia seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids and are suitable for vegans, their ALA form cannot be used directly by the body; converting ALA to EPA and DHA is highly inefficient and would require large amounts to reach therapeutic levels.
The publication, informed by research from Dr. Peter Attia's podcast with omega-3 expert Bill Harris, identifies algae-derived supplements as a practical option for plant-based diets. Unlike other vegan sources, algae naturally provides EPA and DHA—the same forms found in fish oil—removing the conversion step. For effective dry eye management, the article recommends 1200mg of combined EPA and DHA daily, achievable with 3 NutraVege softgels.
"Algae omega-3 provides vegetarian and vegan patients with the exact fatty acids their eyes need without requiring inefficient body conversion processes," a company representative states. "Although costs run slightly higher than fish-based alternatives, this source delivers therapeutic results for dietary-restricted patients."
Published on the mEYEspa platform, this guidance fills a knowledge gap for practitioners and patients seeking diet-compliant options. It draws on direct clinical observations and a review of biochemical differences among omega-3 types.
