If you live in Cave Creek, you know that our dry desert climate can take a toll on your eyes. Many people in our community experience uncomfortable symptoms like dryness, burning, or irritation, especially during the hottest months. At Eye Care North, we offer TearCare®, a modern in office treatment designed to restore healthy tear function and bring lasting relief from dry eye symptoms.
TearCare® is an advanced in-office treatment designed to relieve the symptoms of dry eye caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD); the most common form of dry eye disease. The meibomian glands in your eyelids are responsible for producing the oil layer of your tears. When these glands become blocked or don’t function properly, your eyes lose moisture more quickly, leading to dryness and irritation.
TearCare® uses gentle, targeted heat and natural blinking to safely and effectively clear blockages in the meibomian glands. This allows your eyes to produce the healthy, stable tears needed for lasting comfort.
The TearCare® system uses flexible, wearable eyelid devices that deliver precise therapeutic heat directly to the eyelids. Here’s how the process works:
The entire procedure is quick, comfortable, and requires no downtime - most patients return to their normal activities right away.
TearCare® is ideal for patients diagnosed with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction or for anyone struggling with chronic dry eye symptoms. If you frequently experience gritty, scratchy, or burning sensations, blurred or fluctuating vision, red or watery eyes, or sensitivity to light, you may benefit from this advanced treatment. For those who rely on artificial tears or have tried other dry eye therapies without lasting results, TearCare® offers a promising solution that can deliver the long-term relief you’ve been looking for.
Don’t let dry eye symptoms hold you back from enjoying daily life. TearCare® offers a comfortable and effective way to restore healthy tear function and improve your overall eye comfort. At Eye Care North, our team is committed to helping you find real, lasting relief.
