I am taking it since 4 months with food, 1 gram per day. No side effects. I also feel better. I took it because my right eye started to dry due to a viral infection I caught in Winter and decresed my visit by 3/4 of a diopter. I never had an eye problem before. I am 39 yo. When I stop taking the oil my eye hurts and start getting dry again. I saw 3 Ophthalmologists who told me that there is no remedy and that I should always moisten it with natural tears. But putting any drop of anything in my eye annoys me and I tried the drops and still felt no difference. I have improved with borage oil.
