TearCare®
The TearCare® system offers natural blink technology that applies 15 minutes of precisely controlled heat to the eyelids. TearCare® targets the removal of unhealthy oil that may be causing your dry eye symptoms.
RadioFrequency Therapy
RadioFrequency technology is commonly used to help reduce the signs of aging, but it can also help ease dry eye symptoms!
This technology safely delivers bipolar RadioFrequency waves to the smaller, more delicate subdermal layers which house the meibomian glands.
Intense Pulse Light Therapy
Intense Pulse Light creates tissue heating which helps to reduce inflammation associated with conditions such as ocular rosacea.
Meibomian Gland Expression
Usually following heat treatments, this is a therapeutic procedure involving the application of gentle pressure to the eyelids to express and release the oily secretions from the meibomian glands. This process aims to unclog the glands, improve the flow of the oil portion of the tear film, and enhance its overall function.
