TearCare Becomes the First and Only MGD Treatment Indicated to Improve Meibomian Gland Function in Patients with Evaporative Dry Eye Disease
Sight Sciences announced that the FDA updated the Indications for Use for its TearCare System, making it the first and only treatment indicated to improve meibomian gland function in adult patients with evaporative dry eye disease due to MGD.
This label expansion establishes a clinically meaningful endpoint focused on gland function rather than just symptom management, reinforcing the importance of addressing the underlying cause of dry eye disease.
CEO Paul Badawi described the update as a landmark moment for the company and the dry eye category, highlighting the commitment to interventional technologies.
