Do you have any of the following symptoms?
  • Dry and gritty
  • Red and irritated
  • Teary and watery                                  
  • Burning or stinging
  • Light sensitivity
  • Blurry or fluctuating vision

If so, you most likely have dry eyes.

Your eyelids have tiny glands to produce oil that coats the surface of your eye, keeping them hydrated and comfortable. When these glands are blocked, you may experience irritation, vision fluctuations, or watery eyes. This is called Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). MGD is a chronic and progressive disease and early intervention to preserve these glands is important.

What is TearCare?
The TearCare system is a treatment for MGD, the leading cause of dry eye disease. It's a personalized open-eye in-office procedure designed to target the underlying cause of your dry eye.

TearCare fits comfortably to the unique shape of your eyelids and applies intelligent therapeutic heat to liquefy the stagnant oils in the glands of your eye.

After the 15 minutes of therapeutic heat, the eye doctor will remove the obstruction and allow new oil to begin flowing.

This is FSA/HSA eligible, and there is a $100 rebate per procedure.

If you have any additional questions, please ask one of our doctors for further information during your eye exam.
