Eyelid Scrubs, Hot Compress Masks, Omega-3 Vitamins & TearCare

Meibomian glands are on the upper and lower eyelids, when they become clogged, the oils that prevent the tears from evaporating cannot get into the tear film.  This is called meibomian gland dysfunction (or blepharitis).  Eyelid scrubs, a hot compress mask and omega-3 vitamins can help unclog those glands.  Additionally, an in-office device called TearCare® heats the glands for 15 minutes which melts the meibum.  Once melted, your doctor will clear those glands with another instrument.
