The Thermal 1-touch is used to treat the most common form of dry eye called evaporative dry eye disease. Normally, one’s tears rely on a delicate balance of nutrients and oils to coat the eye. The oils are product through the meibomian glands, but when your glands get clogged, your tears no longer receive these essential oils. Thus, your tears become overly watery and will evaporate before they reach the eye. In order to declog your meibomian glands, Thermal 1-touch is the ideal solution. By reaching a certain temperature, the device can safely and comfortably express the glands, to allow your oils to pass through normally. Within days, patients experience will notice less dry eye symptoms. We also carry an at home care kit that our patients can purchase in order to ensure the treatment is successful.
