How TearCare® Treatment Can Improve Your Eyes’ Comfort and Clarity

If you struggle with dry, irritated eyes, blurry vision, or a gritty sensation that won’t go away, you’re not alone. These symptoms are common in individuals with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). At Innovista Eye, Dr. Luis Rojas offers TearCare®, a leading treatment designed to target the root cause of dry eye by restoring the natural oil flow in your eyelids.
 

Understanding the Role of Meibomian Glands

Your meibomian glands line the edge of your eyelids and are responsible for producing the oily layer of your tear film. This oil helps prevent your tears from evaporating too quickly. When these glands become blocked or dysfunctional, the tear film breaks down, leading to dry, irritated eyes and blurred vision. Over time, untreated MGD can lead to inflammation, discomfort, and a decreased quality of life.
 

What Is TearCare®?

TearCare is a non-invasive, in-office procedure that uses targeted thermal energy to safely and comfortably heat the eyelids. This controlled heat helps to melt hardened oils trapped in the meibomian glands, making it easier to express and restore proper gland function.
 

Unlike other treatments, TearCare is open-eye therapy, meaning you can blink normally during the session, allowing for more natural and effective results. The full treatment typically takes 15-20 minutes, and most patients experience immediate relief with continued improvement over time.
 

Benefits of TearCare®

• Improved Comfort: TearCare alleviates the burning, stinging, and dryness associated with MGD and dry eye.
• Clearer Vision: By stabilizing the tear film, TearCare helps reduce fluctuations in vision caused by dryness.
• Convenient & Comfortable: The treatment is quick, performed right in our office, and requires no downtime.
• Long-Lasting Relief: Many patients report sustained improvement in symptoms after just one session.

Is TearCare Right for You?

If over-the-counter artificial tears or home remedies haven’t brought lasting relief, you may be an ideal candidate for TearCare. Dr. Rojas will perform a thorough evaluation of your eyes to determine the health of your meibomian glands and recommend the best course of treatment for your needs.
