Trained and Certified TearCare® Treatments
The Laser Vision Correction Center of New Jersey is proud to announce that our providers are trained to perform TearCare! A quick in-office procedure to treat Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), a leading cause of chronic dry eye.
How do we treat Dry Eye?
Each case of Dry Eye is unique. We consider all factors causing your dry eye as well as your tear quality to develop a custom dry eye treatment plan.
Management considerations for Dry Eye can include artificial tears/lubricant drops that provide short-term symptom relief.
Other options include prescription anti-inflammatory eye drops and in-office obstruction removal with medical devices like The TearCare® System.
What is TearCare®?
TearCare® is an innovative Dry Eye procedure that targets the blocked meibomian glands in your eyelids that produce oils to keep your tears healthy.
When these glands become blocked or have reduced function, your tears may evaporate more quickly. Unblocking these glands with The TearCare® System can help restore their function and stabilize the tear film. This may improve the quality of tears and reduce symptoms like dryness, gritty or scratchy sensations, blurry vision, and watery eyes.
At your appointment, we will determine whether your dry eye symptoms are caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) and would benefit from the use of The TearCare® System.
