Dry Eye Syndrome and the Benefits of TempSure Treatment

Dry Eye Syndrome is a common and often chronic condition that occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This can lead to inflammation and damage to the eye’s surface.

At Eye Care Associates, we offer advanced treatments, including TempSure, to help manage dry eye symptoms and improve your eye health.

What is Dry Eye Syndrome?

Dry Eye Syndrome can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, including:

• Burning Sensation: A persistent burning feeling in your eyes.
• Redness: Visible redness in the whites of your eyes.
• Itching: Constant urge to rub your eyes.
• Blurry Vision: Difficulty focusing because of dryness.
• Foreign Body Sensation: Feeling like something is in your eye.

These symptoms can interfere with daily activities such as reading, using a computer, and driving.

TempSure Treatment for Dry Eye

TempSure is an innovative treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to safely and effectively treat dry eye symptoms, particularly those caused by meibomian gland dysfunction. Here’s how TempSure works:

• Heat Application: TempSure applies controlled heat to the eyelids, targeting the meibomian glands.
• Gland Expression: The heat helps to melt the hardened oils blocking the glands, allowing for better oil flow and tear production.
• Improved Tear Quality: By improving the function of the meibomian glands, TempSure enhances the quality of your tears, reducing dryness and irritation.

Importance of Treating Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

The meibomian glands are responsible for secreting oils that help keep your eyes lubricated. When these glands become clogged, it can lead to meibomian gland dysfunction, a significant contributor to dry eye symptoms. If left untreated, clogged glands can die, worsening dry eye conditions.
