Summary

This study compares two versions of an in-office eyelid warming treatment for dry eye caused by blocked oil glands. Twenty adults with dry eye symptoms will receive the TearCare procedure either with or without an extended warming hold. The goal is to see if the longer warming improves oil gland function more than the standard approach.
