Disclaimer: I am an eye doctor at Premier Eyecare Associates. Many of the products and procedures I discuss are those that my practice offers, because I trust the peer-reviewed research or my own or my patients’ experiences backing them. I am also an Amazon Affiliate for a few products my practice does not provide but that I think could help my patients, and I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases. Ultimately, since all individuals are unique and I do not know your exact medical history, you should ask your own eye care provider about any medical advice or products mentioned. However, know that all my recommendations are solely based on the best interest of my patients & readers. Thank you!
Eyes that produce an unhealthy tear film need appropriate nutritional support. EZ Tears is a daily vitamin, taken twice per day with a meal. This supplement relieves eye discomfort and irritation by helping dry eye patients produce more natural tears with a greater level of lubrication.
How does supplementation with EZ Tears improve your dry eye disease and eye health?
A multi-centered, clinic-based dry eye study (Oral Nutritional Impact on Tear Film, ONIT) determined individuals supplementing with EZ Tears achieved:
- Rapid relief from occasional dry eye
- Improved tear quality and quantity
- Tear evaporation time improvement of 45% (based on Tear break-up time, TBUT)
- Corneal staining improvement of 33% and conjunctival staining improvement of 50%
- Improvement of the amount of water tears on the eye of 50% (by measuring tear meniscus)
- Lid inflammation improvement of 40%
- Improved contact lens wear time
- Self-reported improvements in symptoms via standardized subjective patient surveys
- Symptom improvement of 38% (based on the Ocular Surface Disease Index, OSDI)
What is in EZ Tears?
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin E
- High quality Omega-3s (EPA and DHA)
- Proprietary Blend of anti-inflammatory ingredients including Evening Primrose Oil, Turmeric Root Extract, Green Tea Leaf Extract, Mixed Tocotrienol/Tocopherol Oil
Why can’t you just take an Omega-3 supplement from your local pharmacy, grocery, or supplement store?
Supplements are not regulated by the FDA, so the ones you find on the shelves at your local store are not made equal – some are made cheaply and have inactive ingredients that you could be sensitive to. EZ Tears is made of the highest quality natural ingredients, is manufactured in the USA, and is validated safe and effective in FDA-registered clinical research studies. Its manufacturer, EyePromise (a Missouri company), is one of only a handful of supplement manufacturers that is a member of the Council for Responsible Nutrition. Their products fall under the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP).
What effects can EZ Tears have on the rest of your body?
EZ Tears not only supports eye health, it also provides anti-inflammatory effects for your heart, skin, and brain health.
How often should you take EZ Tears?
EZ Tears is taken 2 times per day with food for at least 6 months. Though your symptoms should improve over the next few weeks, and in as early as 1 week, it typically takes a few months to significantly improve tear film composition. Most patients continue taking EZ Tears indefinitely, because dry eye is a chronic disease and the product also benefits other organs.
What if EZ Tears doesn’t work for you?
EZ Tears is backed by a 30-day symptom improvement guarantee or your money-back. If you have any problems with an EyePromise product, you can email them at support@eyepromise.com, or call their Customer Support team at 1-866-833-2800.
Where can I get EZ Tears for the best price?
EyePromise has a close relationship with the doctors at Premier Eyecare Associates. I often prescribe 6 bottles of EZ Tears at a time. Patients usually prefer to purchase up to 3 bottles at my office and then sign up for the EyePromise Convenience Ship program for refills on their EZ Tears prescription and eye nutrition education. At sign-up, you get a free bottle, $1.50 off every subsequent bottle, and free shipping – making this much cheaper than purchasing off Amazon or other online or local retailers.
