DHA, a component of omega-3s, reduces inflammation and so may reduce stress caused by inflammation in the retina seen in diabetic retinopathy. DHA is also a precursor for a biochemical compound known as neuroprotectin D1, which also helps protect against damage from inflammation and reduces cell death within the retina.
