TearCare SmartLids Replacements (1 Pair)

The TearCare® System is intended for the application of localized heat therapy in adult patients with evaporative dry eye disease due to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), when used in conjunction with manual expression of the meibomian glands.

 

How Does TearCare® Work?

TearCare® is a pair of flexible eyelid devices that apply gentle heat to the meibomian glands. The heat helps turn the meibum more liquid, remove blockages, reduce inflammation, and promote tear production.

The pliable, soft TearCare® devices easily conform to the eye’s shape and help the patient remain comfortable throughout the procedure, with open eyes and normal blinking.
The TearCare® procedure typically lasts a few minutes. The eye doctor may clear any remaining obstructions manually at the end of the treatment.

 

Is It Safe?

TearCare® is a safe, efficient dry eye disease treatment method. It can decrease dry eye symptoms like blurred vision and irritation of the eye’s surface, help maintain clear vision, and prevent permanent damage to the meibomian glands.
Candidates for the TearCare® treatment must be 22 or older, without ocular surface abnormalities such as corneal dystrophy.
