Tear Care: Say hello to smart design 

---

What is Tear Care?
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 it work? 

      With new and improved technology system, Tear Care offers full effectiveness for improvement of severe dry eyes . 
   Meibum is an oily substance that helps to keep the eye’s tear film in place. Without sufficient meibum, which occurs with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), the eyes can become very dry, resulting in itchiness, irritation, and overall discomfort.
    The patient will have the TearCare® device fitted on their eyes, and its flexible design allows it to form around each unique eye shape. The single-use eyelid devices apply low levels of heat to loosen any blockages, turning the wax-like substance that is blocking the glands into an oily substance. During the procedure, patients can blink normally.
    As the patient blinks, SmartLidTM technology works to encourage natural meibum expression as the meibum softens. A doctor will then manually express the glands, removing the meibum and clearing the glands.
