Abstract

The tear film, which provides moisture and protection to the eyes with each blink, can be compromised by various conditions, leading to ocular discomfort such as dry eyes. Individuals presenting with symptoms of dry eyes in a pharmacy setting, are often recommended lubricating eye drops as a first-line treatment. However, incorporating nutritional interventions may offer additional support and complement the effectiveness of standard therapies.
