TearCare®
The TearCare® System is an innovative in-office treatment designed to help patients suffering from meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and evaporative dry eye disease. This targeted therapy uses gentle, controlled heat to melt blockages in the meibomian glands, improving oil flow and enhancing tear film stability.
How Does TearCare® Work?
✅ Comfortable Wearable Technology: TearCare® features flexible, wearable devices that gently conform to the shape of your eyelids. These devices deliver precise, therapeutic heat directly to your meibomian glands.
✅ Active Blink Therapy: During treatment, patients are encouraged to blink naturally, helping the glands express oils for improved tear quality.
✅ Meibomian Gland Expression: After the heat therapy, your eye doctor will manually express the glands to clear blockages and restore healthy oil flow.

✅ Enhanced Tear Film Stability for longer-lasting comfort.
✅ Relief from Dry Eye Symptoms such as burning, irritation, and fluctuating vision.
✅ Improved Meibomian Gland Function to help prevent future blockages.
