Summary
This study tested a device called TearCare that uses heat to treat dry eye caused by blocked oil glands in the eyelids. 21 adults with dry eye symptoms received the treatment, and researchers compared a standard version with one that had a longer warming time. The goal was to see if the longer warming improved oil gland function.
