TearCare®

Advanced Treatment for Dry Eye Relief

TearCare® is an FDA-approved, in-office treatment designed to address MGD-related dry eye symptoms. The procedure involves the application of gentle, localized heat to the eyelids, followed by the removal of blockages from the meibomian glands.

When these glands become blocked or have reduced function, your tears may evaporate more quickly. Unblocking these glands with the TearCare® System can help restore their function and stabilize the tear film. This may improve the quality of tears and reduce symptoms like dryness, gritty or scratchy sensations, blurry vision, and watery eyes.

How TearCare® Works

  • Pre-Treatment Assessment: A comprehensive eye examination is conducted to determine the presence and severity of MGD.
  • Application of the TearCare® System: The TearCare® device is placed on the closed eyelids, delivering controlled heat to the meibomian glands.
  • Gland Expression: After heating, the glands are gently expressed to remove blockages and restore normal function.
  • Post-Treatment Care: Patients may be advised on follow-up care and potential additional treatments to maintain eye health.

Benefits of TearCare®

  • Non-Invasive: No incisions or injections are required.
  • Quick Recovery: Most patients resume normal activities immediately.
  • Long-Lasting Relief: Effects can last several months, depending on individual conditions.
  • Minimal Discomfort: The procedure is well-tolerated with minimal discomfort.
