TearCare Treatment for Dry Eyes in Young Adults
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether TearCare, a device that warms and massages the eyelids, can help young adults with dry eyes caused by blocked oil glands. The trial measures whether the treatment improves tear quality and eye comfort.

This trial tests if using a blink reminder app (BlinkEasy) can help reduce damage to the oil glands in your eyelids that keep eyes moist. It is for people aged 18 to 40 who use screens at least 4 hours a day and have mild to severe dry eye symptoms.
This study tests whether low-level light therapy can improve dry eye symptoms caused by blocked oil glands (Meibomian Gland Dysfunction). It also looks at how the treatment affects skin pigmentation under the eyes.
This study tests if Vevye eye drops can improve symptoms of meibomian gland dysfunction, a condition where the tiny oil glands in your eyelids get blocked. It may help reduce dryness and discomfort.
This study tests whether a special eyelid massage technique using a support plate can help unblock and improve meibomian glands—small glands in your eyelids that produce tear oil. If your glands are blocked or not working well, it may be causing your dry eyes, and this treatment might help.
