How Does TearCare Work to Relieve Dry Eye and Improve Tear Production?

Dry eye is a common condition that can cause discomfort, blurry vision, and a gritty or burning sensation in the eyes. For many, it can become a chronic issue that disrupts daily life. While artificial tears may offer temporary relief, they often do not address the underlying cause of dry eye.
 

Understanding the Root Cause of Dry Eye

Dry eye is often caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, or MGD. The Meibomian glands are located along the edge of your eyelids and are responsible for secreting oils that keep your tears from evaporating too quickly. When these glands become clogged or are not functioning properly, the tear film becomes unstable, leading to dry eye symptoms.
 

What Is TearCare?

TearCare is a modern, non-invasive treatment designed to target the root cause of dry eye associated with MGD. It combines gentle heat and blink-assisted expression to improve the quality of the tear film and stimulate natural tear production.

The TearCare system uses flexible, wearable devices placed on the eyelids. These devices are designed to fit comfortably and deliver consistent therapeutic heat to the Meibomian glands. The heat helps soften the hardened oils that clog the glands. After the heating phase, your eye care provider will manually express any remaining blockages to further improve gland performance.
 

The Benefits of TearCare Treatment

TearCare offers several advantages for those suffering from dry eye:

• Targets the root cause of dry eye by treating Meibomian Gland Dysfunction
• Provides long-lasting relief by restoring the natural tear film
• Customizable treatment guided by your eye doctor
• Comfortable and convenient with minimal downtime

Many patients notice an improvement in their symptoms after just one session, and results often continue to improve in the weeks following treatment.
