Dry, burning, or gritty eyes can frustrate even the simplest tasks. Reading, working on a computer, or watching TV can become uncomfortable. You may be dealing with the chronic dry eye if you constantly reach for eye drops or blink more than usual to see clearly.
Many try basic eye treatment options, like over-the-counter drops or warm compresses, only to find temporary relief. For those seeking a lasting solution, TearCare is a modern treatment gaining attention for its targeted approach and long-term results.
Chronic dry eye happens when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly. This can happen for several reasons:
One of the most common causes is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). These tiny glands along the eyelid produce the oily layer of your tear film. When they become blocked, tears dry out faster, leading to irritation, burning, or blurred vision. Other eye issues like allergies or inflammation can make symptoms worse.
TearCare is a treatment designed to target blocked meibomian glands. It uses a soft, wearable device that fits around the eyes and delivers gentle, controlled heat. This warmth loosens hardened oils that clog the glands.
TearCare is unique because patients are asked to keep their eyes open and blink naturally during the treatment. This natural blinking, combined with heat, helps release the blockages and restore proper tear flow.
The TearCare system is used in an eye care professional’s office. It is non-invasive and typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes. Most patients feel comfortable during the process and return to normal activities right after.
Many people with dry eyes start with artificial tears, warm compresses, or medications. These options can provide relief, but they often treat only the symptoms.
TearCare works differently. It focuses on the root cause of dry eyes by clearing the oil glands that help keep tears from drying out too quickly. Unlike eye surgery, TearCare does not involve cutting or recovery time, making it a safer and more convenient option for many patients.
TearCare is also FDA-approved and often recommended for people without success with other dry eye remedies.
You may be a good fit for TearCare if you:
If you feel like you’ve tried everything and nothing seems to help, TearCare could be worth exploring.
During the TearCare session, an eye specialist gently places the device on your eyelids. You’ll be encouraged to blink naturally as the system warms the glands. This helps the glands clear out the oils and restore healthy function.
After the treatment, your doctor may manually remove any remaining blockages with a unique tool. Most people say the process feels relaxing and painless.
You might notice results within a few days, though it can take a little longer for some people. Many patients feel relief after just one session, and results can last several months. Some people may benefit from follow-up treatments for ongoing care.
