I also started taking the Sports Research omega-3 capsules early this year. Seems the consensus for taking any omega-3 is that it's single-source and wild caught which is why I chose that brand. My biggest benefit has been my eyesight with way less floaters.

However I started taking creatine this summer to help with my recovery from running now that I'm older. I will say I feel it's done more for my cognitive function than the omega-3 did.

Huh, did you also have to get any laser surgery done to get rid of them totally? My research always indicated that once you had floaters, they were basically just there forever and your brain just learned to work around them.


My eye doc said I had a slight case of blepharitis and that I should use high quality fish oil and eye lid cleaning wipes. The oil would help the membranes or gland in the eye lid, can’t remember which.


I hadn't heard that! I'll have to take good fish oil religiously.

Blepharitis is just the worst.


Think i had this before. had a lump on one eyelid.

Went to GP and asked him if was cancer.

He just recommended a clean warm wet cloth and prescribed me some peroxide eyedrops.

All seems to be working and it's going away.

I think it's worth mentioning that when it started i wasn't eating well and had lost weight due to stomach issues.


No surgery and I don't wear any vision correction, they aren't gone 100% just reduced greatly. I really only ever notice them when going from dark to light. Typically never inside my house under normal light, mainly just outdoors.

My diet does lack seafood overall. While I love salmon my family doesn't. If we eat seafood it's mainly catfish and shrimp though, as we are in Louisiana.


I was advised by a doctor to take Omega 3 for the same reason.


Not all floaters. The information in the doctors clinic can lag behind 10-20 years, best to keep an eye on studies that might not reach them, since no doc can read everything.


> wild caught

Wouldn't wild caught have more heavy metals?
