I had an eye appointment today. I've suffered from mild "dry eye" for a few years, sometimes better, sometimes worse (better recently, ironically) and today we did a deeper analysis of how to deal with and potentially treat it.
One of her recommendations was to increase my fat intake! She said, "I know current recommendations say to eat low fat, but increasing dietary fat has been shown to help dry eye." I told her I follow a ketogenic diet, so I eat a low carb, high fat diet daily, and her exact words were, "Oh! That is excellent! It's perfect for helping treat dry eye syndrome. Good for you!"
So that alone is a reason for me to continue keto!
