Delivering a concentrated dose of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supports the structural integrity of the retina where these lipids are naturally concentrated. This lipid plays a fundamental role in visual acuity and the function of photoreceptor cells.

The high ratio of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) further contributes to a healthy inflammatory response in ocular tissues. Purified triglyceride forms ensure that these essential fatty acids are efficiently absorbed for systemic and ocular utilization.
