Get personalized dry eye relief with TearCare®.

TearCare® is a solution for dry eye patients as a result of Meibomian Gland Disorder (MGD). The Meibomian glands are located along the rims of the eyelid and dryness is caused by a blockage from the production of meibum, an oily substance that prevents evaporation of the eye’s tear film.

The TearCare is a simple process. With the use of software controls, localized heat is safely applied to the eyelids using disposable smart lids, which transfers calibrated heat to the external eyelids for 15 minutes. The heating process loosens stagnant meibum and melts the oils. After the heat treatment, the doctor will carefully examine the glands and express the oils. The removal of the unhealthy oils will encourage healthier meibum production, which will lead to a better tear film in the eyes.

TearCare is a special treatment because it provides patients a personalized open-eye experience. Call our office for more details and schedule a TearCare treatment with Dr. Tan today if you are struggling with dry eyes.
