Outsmarting Meibomian Gland Dysfunction
TearCare is wearable smart technology designed to deliver targeted thermal energy to your meibomian glands.
Dry eyes can often result from an imbalance in your tear film caused by meibomian gland dysfunction. The top and bottom of your eyelids are lined with tiny, oil-producing glands called the meibomian glands. Blockages in the meibomian glands might reduce the oil produced, causing dry eyes.
TearCare is essentially an upgraded warm compress. Your optometrist uses the software to tailor the delivery of thermal energy to your meibomian glands, loosening any blockages and liquefying hardened oil particles.
Book AppointmentHow Does TearCare Work?
A flexible pair of eyelid devices conform to your unique eye shape, allowing the thermal treatment to target the right areas. You can blink normally while wearing the comfortable and lightweight device.
No special preparation is required for this treatment. However, if you wear contact lenses, you should remove them before the procedure and leave them out for an hour following.
Most patients tolerate TearCare well and experience relief from dry eye symptoms right away. As with any treatment, there are risks and potential side effects. We will discuss those with you at your appointment.
