TearCare Dry Eye Treatment in Pismo Beach, CA | Advanced Eyecare Central Coast

The TearCare system is an in-office treatment for patients suffering from dry eye disease. TearCare is another alternative for dry eye patients who have dryness because of Meibomian Gland Disorder (MGD). The Meibomian glands are located along the rims of the eyelids. They produce meibum, an oily substance that prevents evaporation of the eye’s tear film. TearCare works by applying localized heat to the eyelids. The heat loosens up the clogged glands and allows Dr. Gill to express them.
