Fish Oil Benefits #3: Prevents Eye Disorders

It’s not just diabetics who can experience improved eye health from using omega-3 fatty acids. Fish oil has actually been proven to reduce the instance of naturally occurring age-related eye disorders. Macular degeneration, a common condition that reduces eyesight and occurs as people age, is quite common. A 2014 study done in France evaluated 290 people who were developing the condition. The study revealed that people who didn’t consume fish oil or seafood on a regular basis were much more likely to develop macular degeneration.

The study went on to suggest that supplementing with fish oil could provide the proper balance of EPA and DHA to help people avoid the emergence of macular degeneration. Studies have also suggested that fish oil supplementation can help reduce the development of cataracts.
