Tixel® Dry Eye Treatment in San Tan Valley & Queen Creek, AZ

The Future of Dry Eye Relief Is Here

At Pecan Creek Eyecare, we’re proud to be the first practice in the San Tan Valley and Queen Creek area to offer Tixel® thermomechanical treatment for dry eye disease. This FDA-approved technology is a breakthrough in treating meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)—one of the leading causes of chronic dry eye.


Unlike older treatments, Tixel provides safe, effective, and comfortable relief without the need for surgery, injections, or long recovery times and is safe for all skin types. Tixel treatments are quick, comfortable, and require no downtime—no need to avoid the sun or make major changes to your daily routine.


What Is Tixel®?

Tixel is a thermomechanical treatment that uses gentle heat applied to the eyelids to:

  • Unclog blocked meibomian glands

  • Restore healthy oil flow in the tear film

  • Reduce inflammation linked to dry eye disease

  • Improve long-term eye comfort and vision


By addressing the root cause of evaporative dry eye, Tixel helps stabilize your tears and reduces the need for constant artificial drops.


How Tixel Compares to Other Dry Eye Technologies

Many patients are familiar with other treatments like LipiFlow®, IPL, or RF therapy. While these options can help, Tixel is designed to go further:

  • More Comfortable – Patients often report less discomfort compared to thermal pulsation or IPL.

  • Faster Sessions – Treatments are quick, with no downtime.

  • Effective Results – Studies and patient experience show lasting improvement in dry eye symptoms.

  • Advanced Technology – Tixel combines precision heating with thermomechanical energy for consistent, targeted results.


Who Can Benefit from Tixel?

Tixel may be right for you if you experience:

  • Burning, stinging, or gritty eyes

  • Watery eyes that still feel dry

  • Sensitivity when using screens or reading

  • Contact lens discomfort

  • Frequent need for artificial tears


During your comprehensive dry eye evaluation, we use advanced imaging such as meibography to assess the health of your oil glands and determine if Tixel is the best treatment for you.
