Fish oil for your eyes? study tests Omega-3 against diabetes damage
NCT ID NCT04499820
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether taking omega-3 supplements for 6 months can improve blood flow in the eyes of people with mild to moderate diabetic retinopathy, a common diabetes complication. Researchers measured tiny blood vessels in the retina using a special camera. The goal was to see if omega-3s could slow or reverse early eye damage.
