We Found Something Better For You
As part of a catalog update, we have stopped carrying the GLA-based dry eye supplement some of you were using. You bought it from us for years, and we take that loyalty seriously, so we did the homework for you. Below is a side by side look at what you were taking and the three formulas our 5,000+ doctor network recommends most today. Your first order of any of them is 30% off with code UPGRADE30, available through December 31, 2026.
Key takeaways
Quick answer
If you were taking HydroEye, the GLA-based supplement we no longer carry, three options fill a comparable role in a daily routine: PRN DE3 Dry Eye Omega Benefits, the omega-3 our doctor network recommends most, EyePromise EZ Tears, which pairs omega-3s with additional soothing ingredients, and MacuHealth Omega 3, a clean triglyceride-form fish oil that supports eyes and heart. Use code UPGRADE30 for 30% off your first order of any of them.
Here is how our three alternatives line up, with the label facts for the GLA-based supplement we previously carried for reference.
Each alternative earns its spot for a different reason, so pick the one that fits how you like to take your supplements. Your previous supplement was a GLA-based blend: 1570mg black currant seed oil with 170mg omega-3s (100mg EPA, 70mg DHA) and supporting vitamins, taken as 4 softgels daily. We proudly carried it for years, and if you bought it from us, this page is for you. Prices below are before your 30% first-order discount with UPGRADE30. Descriptions are the manufacturer's own.

You have been a Dry Eye Rescue customer, and we want to keep it that way. Enter UPGRADE30 at checkout and 30% comes off your first order of any of the alternatives above. Offer available through December 31, 2026. It applies to your first order and cannot be combined with other discount codes.
Not every routine is the right fit forever
Dry eye needs change, and so does the science. Newer formulations: all three use re-esterified triglyceride or multi-ingredient blends that reflect more recent approaches to omega-3 absorption. More dosing flexibility: from a simple daily fish oil to a multi-ingredient blend, pick what fits your routine, not the other way around. Backed by an active doctor network: these are the three options our 5,000+ eye care professionals recommend most today, not what was popular years ago. If your current routine has not fully resolved your symptoms, this is a low-risk way to try a different approach, especially with 30% off your first order.
Here is what happened, and why you are in good hands
As part of a regular catalog review, we made the decision to stop carrying the GLA-based supplement some of you were using. This was not a reflection on any one product. It is part of keeping our shelf focused on the options our doctor network recommends most today. If your old routine was working perfectly for you, we are sorry for the disruption, and we have made switching as easy as possible above. If it was not quite hitting the mark, this is a great time to try something that might work better for you.
One honest note before you shop. A GLA-based blend is built around an omega-6 fatty acid, while our alternatives are omega-3 focused formulas. They work toward the same goal of supporting a healthy tear film, but the recipe is different. Supplements also build up gradually, so give your new pick a consistent 2 to 3 months before you judge it.
We talk every day with the eye care professionals who recommend these products to their own patients. A few consistent themes come back from the exam lane. This reflects what we hear across our network of over 5,000 eye care professionals. It is general education, not individual medical advice, so ask your own eye doctor what fits your eyes.
Not sure which one is right for you?
If you want the option your eye doctor is most likely to know and recommend, start with PRN DE3. It is the workhorse of dry eye omega-3s and the one we see on the most doctor shelves. If part of what you liked about your previous supplement was that it blended several ingredients rather than relying on fish oil alone, EyePromise EZ Tears is the closest multi-ingredient match, with omega-3s plus 8 additional soothing ingredients. And if you would rather keep it simple with one high quality fish oil that pulls double duty for eye and heart health, MacuHealth Omega 3 is a clean, gluten free choice.
Whichever you choose, remember your 30% first-order discount with code UPGRADE30, available through December 31, 2026. And if you want to browse beyond these three, our full eye vitamins collection is one click away.

Dry Eye Rescue Tip
Take your omega-3 with your largest meal of the day. These are fat-soluble nutrients, so pairing them with food that contains some fat helps your body absorb more of every softgel. A consistent daily habit beats a perfect one you forget half the time.
If your eyes still burn, water, or feel gritty after a fair trial, there may be an underlying cause a supplement cannot fix. Our free locator connects you with over 5,000 eye care professionals who treat dry eye every day, or use Find Your Relief to prepare for your visit.

Read the guideAs part of a regular catalog review, we chose to focus our shelf on the supplements our network of eye care professionals recommends most today. It was a business decision about our catalog, not a reflection on any one product, and this page exists to make your switch as smooth as possible.
There is no exact match because your previous supplement was built around GLA, an omega-6. The closest multi-ingredient match in spirit is EyePromise EZ Tears, which combines omega-3s with 8 additional soothing ingredients. For the omega-3 our doctor network recommends most, choose PRN DE3.

No, UPGRADE30 cannot be stacked with other discount codes. It is designed as a one-time welcome discount to make trying your new supplement easy.
Yes, that is the simplest approach. Finish your current bottle, then start your new supplement the next day. There is no required washout period between omega supplements.
Give any eye supplement a consistent 2 to 3 months. These nutrients build up gradually, so a week or two is not a fair test. Taking it daily with a meal helps absorption.
The evidence is mixed. Many patients and doctors report real symptom relief, while the largest randomized trial to date found omega-3 and placebo groups improved similarly. We think quality omega-3s are a reasonable, well tolerated part of a complete dry eye routine, not a magic fix on their own.
Omega-3s are generally well tolerated, but they can interact with blood thinners and some other medications. Check with your eye doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you take prescription medications or are preparing for surgery.
That is a sign to see a dry eye specialist. Persistent dryness often has an underlying cause, like meibomian gland dysfunction, that needs in-office care. Use our free doctor locator to find one of over 5,000 eye care professionals near you.
