Canadian eye health resource mEYEspa released a detailed comparison guide explaining the differences between fish oil and omega-3 supplements for eye health. The guide reveals how refinement processes, purity levels, and concentration standards impact product effectiveness for conditions like dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction.
-- In 2026, mEYEspa focuses on eye health education, which is why they published a comprehensive comparison guide about omega-3 and fish oil supplements. The new resource helps consumers understand critical differences between these products and make informed decisions for their eye care needs.

Fish oil supplements contain crude oil extracted from fish tissue with minimal purification and often have variable ratios of active omega-3 fatty acids. These products frequently include other fats, such as saturated and monounsaturated varieties, and may contain trace contaminants like heavy metals if not highly purified.
In contrast, concentrated omega-3 supplements undergo maximal purification to remove environmental toxins, such as mercury and PCBs, and increase EPA and DHA concentration significantly. These refined products typically contain 60 to 90% active ingredients compared to about 30% in standard fish oil supplements.
These processing differences matter because omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients the human body cannot produce on its own, making dietary intake critical. They include ALA found in plants like flaxseed and walnuts, and EPA and DHA found mainly in oily fish. These fatty acids support eye health, brain function, and heart health by promoting cell function and reducing inflammation.
For consumers choosing between these options, mEYEspa recommends checking EPA and DHA content on labels rather than generic omega-3 listings, choosing certified brands with clear labeling, and preferring triglyceride form supplements for eye care applications over other formulations. The guide also explains that plant-based ALA offers benefits, but EPA and DHA from marine or algal sources are more effective because the body directly absorbs them without requiring metabolic conversion.
Beyond ingredient concentration, the comparison guide distinguishes between regulatory standards for different product categories. Generic fish oil products sold as supplements usually only meet basic labeling and safety standards, whereas pharmaceutical-grade omega-3 formulations satisfy clinical-grade potency requirements.
A representative for the company said, "The team at mEYEspa is committed to providing a very personal level of care and communication. With years of experience in eye care, we work hard to simplify the complexities of eye care and eye care products."
mEYEspa encourages interested consumers to visit their website to learn more about omega-3 supplements and the eye health benefits from quality products.
