When You Need TearCare for Dry Eyes

If your eyes constantly feel dry, gritty, or irritated, you might be dealing with more than simple discomfort. For many people, these symptoms are a sign of chronic dry eye disease, a condition that can worsen over time if left untreated. TearCare® is an innovative, in-office treatment designed to gently restore natural tear function and bring lasting comfort.
 

Understanding the Cause of Dry Eyes

Dry eye disease can result from several factors, including aging, hormonal changes, medications, or excessive screen time. However, one of the most common causes is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) - a condition in which the tiny oil glands in your eyelids become clogged or stop producing enough oil. Without this protective oil layer, your tears evaporate too quickly, leading to dryness, irritation, and inflammation.
 

Signs You Might Need TearCare

You may benefit from TearCare if you experience:

• A gritty or sandy sensation in your eyes

• Redness or irritation that worsens throughout the day

• Watery eyes

• Light sensitivity or blurry vision

• Frequent use of artificial tears with limited or no relief

If these symptoms sound familiar and persist despite using lubricating drops or warm compresses, TearCare may be the next step toward lasting comfort.
 

How TearCare Works

TearCare targets the root cause of MGD. The treatment uses soft, flexible eyelid devices that apply gentle, controlled heat to the meibomian glands while your eyes remain open. This helps melt the hardened oils that block the glands. Your eye doctor then expresses the glands to restore natural oil flow, improving tear quality and stability.

The entire process takes about 15-30 minutes and requires no downtime - you can resume normal activities right after your appointment.
 

Why Patients Love TearCare

Unlike other dry eye treatments, TearCare is designed for comfort and personalization:

• You can blink naturally throughout the treatment.

• The heat is precisely regulated for safe and effective results.

• It’s non-invasive and drug-free, making it a great option for long-term relief.

Most patients notice improvement after just one session, with continued benefits over the following weeks.
