Harvard Study Finds Eating Tuna Regularly Protects Women From Eye Problems

A recent study by Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Schepens Eye Research Institute at Harvard Medical School has determined that eating tuna at least five times a week can help women reduce their chances of developing dry-eye syndrome.

Phyllis Knapp, a secretary from Kalamazoo, Mich., knows all too much about an ocular condition called dry-eye syndrome. During breaks at work she'd cover her eyes with a cold compress to get relief. Finally, the distraction became so unrelenting that she left her job.

"There's no relief from it; the only relief you get is when you shut your eyes," she says. It can't be cured with a few eye drops, and it leaves its sufferers with burning eyes, blurred vision and the need to protect their eyes from the elements at all times.

Some, including Knapp, reported that their symptoms first occurred after laser eye surgery.
