putting flaxseed directly into eyes

putting flaxseed directly into eyes

Why shouldnt omega 3 oil from say flaxseed or hemp oil be put directly into the eyes for dry eyes?

I have tried it and now my eyes are blurry is there any danger?

Also does honey pose any risk when put in the eys?

Dear jim509,

I would recommend that you not put oral oils or foods in your eyes unless specifically recommended by your eyeMD.  Please go to an eyeMD to determine the cause of your blurriness and make sure you irrigate it well first.
