Houston's TSO Champions eye clinic is addressing the growing issue of 'screen-time fatigue' among residents, which is often tied to dry eye disease. The clinic uses advanced diagnostic testing to create personalized treatment plans, including Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy and radiofrequency technology to improve meibomian gland function, reduce inflammation, and restore the natural oil layer of tears. TSO Champions also offers education on blinking habits, screen breaks, and proper eyewear to help patients manage the impact of technology.

Why it matters

As screens become ubiquitous in Houston, from classrooms to commutes, many residents are experiencing symptoms of 'screen-time fatigue' like burning eyes, blurry vision, headaches, and persistent dryness. This condition is often linked to dry eye disease, which can seriously impact daily life and productivity. TSO Champions is tackling this growing problem with innovative treatments to address the root causes rather than just masking symptoms.

The details

TSO Champions begins care with a comprehensive eye exam and advanced diagnostic testing to evaluate tear quality, gland health, and inflammation. The clinic then creates personalized treatment plans, including Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy combined with radiofrequency technology. This non-surgical treatment uses controlled light and heat to improve meibomian gland function, reduce inflammation, and restore the natural oil layer of tears. Healthy oil production helps prevent tear evaporation and keeps vision clearer and more comfortable throughout the day. TSO Champions also offers TearCare and thermal gland therapies to address chronic dryness at its source.

  • TSO Champions has been offering these advanced dry eye treatments since early 2026.
