Rinsada

What is Rinsada?

Rinsada™ – A breakthrough treatment designed to relieve dry eye by cleansing the eyelid margins and reducing inflammation caused by meibomian gland dysfunction and blepharitis. Dr. Jason Besecker is the first and only provider in the state of Idaho to offer this cutting-edge dry eye treatment.
Rinsada is an innovative, in-office treatment developed to address dry eye by targeting debris, biofilm, and inflammatory buildup along the eyelid margins—major contributors to chronic dry eye symptoms. Rinsada is a new and effective approach to dry eye care, focusing on restoring a healthy ocular surface and improving tear film stability. While home treatments like warm compresses and lid scrubs offer temporary relief, Rinsada directly treats the root causes of dry eye through professional eyelid margin irrigation.
By flushing away bacteria, oil, and debris from the eyelid margins, Rinsada helps reduce inflammation that interferes with normal tear production. The result is improved tear quality, enhanced gland function, and lasting dry eye relief. Unlike many traditional dry eye therapies that only manage symptoms, Rinsada treats the source of dry eye by cleansing and resetting the eyelid environment

Rinsada Procedure for Dry Eye

To treat dry eye, 2–3 sessions of Rinsada may be recommended, spaced approximately 2–4 weeks apart. Each session takes about 10–15 minutes. Rinsada is comfortable, non-invasive, and does not require any downtime, making it ideal for patients seeking relief from persistent dry eye symptoms.
