Dry Eye Care Austin -

The TearCare System utilizes both wearable and smart technology to deliver targeted thermal energy to the eyelids while allowing the eyelids to blink naturally. This can treat obstruction of blocked meibomian glands allowing more oil into your tears! More oil means your tears will be more stable and will not evaporate as quickly. Healthy and sufficient oil in your tears is paramount to having comfortable eyes and vision

Low Level Light Therapy gently heats up the eyelids allowing the release of oil from the meibomian glands into the tears providing more moisture. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce the negative effects of ocular rosacea and blepharitis on tear quality.

Just like you get a dental cleaning every 6 months to remove the biofilm that brushing daily cannot remove, it’s important to get a deep cleaning of your eyelids and eyelashes to remove biofilm build up too because many dry eye conditions start due to the build up of bacteria, mites, keratin and oil on the eyelid margin.
