TearCare Dry Eye Treatment
If you are navigating the discomfort of dry eye, you may feel discouraged by conventional treatment’s effectiveness. To reclaim your ocular well-being, look to Spindel Eye Associates. Providing relief for patients across Derry and surrounding areas, we are proud to offer advanced TearCare dry eye treatment.
Dry eye is among the most common ocular health conditions. This chronic condition is defined by insufficient tear production or inadequate tear quality, resulting in poor eye lubrication. The improper lubrication caused by dry eye results in burning or gritty sensations, itchiness, and/or redness of the eyes, and overall discomfort.
The Causes of Dry Eye
The onset of dry eye can be linked to various factors. Some of the most common causes include:
- Age-related decline in tear production
- Pregnancy, menopause, and other hormonal changes
- Environmental factors and climate
- Certain medications
- Excessive screentime
- Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)
What Is Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)?
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is one of the primary causes of dry eye. Located on the edge of the eyelids, meibomian glands are responsible for the oily substance found in tears that hinders tear evaporation. With MGD, these glands become obstructed or compromised, leading to limited to no oil production and insufficient eye lubrication.
