Rinsada Ocular Irrigation is an in-office treatment that helps relieve irritated, dry, or allergy-affected eyes. During the procedure, a gentle stream of sterile saline is used to wash away things like allergens, debris, and irritants from the surface of your eyes, even from under your eyelids.
This treatment is especially helpful if you have conditions like allergic conjunctivitis or dry eye disease. It helps clean and calm the eye surface, reduce inflammation, and make your eyes feel more comfortable.
By gently rinsing the surface of the eye with a targeted saline solution, Rinsada helps refresh and “reset” the eye’s natural environment. This makes it a helpful option for managing common eye surface conditions.
Backed by clinical studies and real-world results, our eye doctors now include Rinsada as part of their overall approach to eye care.
This treatment doesn’t just relieve symptoms like itching, redness, and irritation, it also helps calm the inflammation that can cause ongoing discomfort, promoting long-term eye health and comfort.
Clinical studies and real-world experience have shown that Rinsada Ocular Irrigation can make a real difference for people struggling with eye irritation, allergies, or dry eye disease.
In one major clinical trial, patients who received Rinsada treatment had a noticeable drop in inflammation-related markers in their eyes, especially MMP-9, which is linked to dry eye symptoms. Some people even reported up to a 68% improvement in how their eyes felt, compared to those using regular artificial tears.
Another study looked at daily use of the Rinsada system and found similar results: patients felt better and had less inflammation after using the rinse regularly. What made the difference? Rinsada’s ability to reach under the eyelids and rinse the entire eye surface, places normal drops usually miss.
Eye doctors have also seen success in more difficult cases. Even when other treatments like prescription drops, lubricants, or heat therapies didn’t help much, just one session with Rinsada often led to fast and noticeable relief. By fully flushing out irritants and calming the surface of the eye, Rinsada helps “reset” the eye’s environment and break the cycle of inflammation.
And it’s not just about feeling better right away. Reducing inflammation can also help prevent future flare-ups and keep symptoms under control over time.
Rinsada delivers a gentle, steady stream of sterile saline to the surface of your eye, especially under your eyelids, where regular eye drops can’t reach. The device is specially designed with a smooth eyelid retractor and five tiny openings that allow the saline to thoroughly rinse important parts of the eye, like the inner eyelid and the eye’s surface.
Most regular eye rinses miss these harder-to-reach areas. But Rinsada’s controlled saline stream gets into every corner. As our eye doctor slowly pushes a syringe of sterile, preservative-free saline through the device, the fluid carefully clears away built-up debris, allergens, and cells that can cause irritation.
Think of it like a deep clean for your eyes. Just like cleaning hidden areas in your home makes a big difference, Rinsada refreshes areas of your eye that often get overlooked. This not only helps your eyes feel better right away, but it also reduces certain inflammatory substances (like MMP-9) that are known to make dry eye symptoms worse.
Our eye doctors often recommend Rinsada as a first step for managing mild eye surface issues. It offers fast relief and tackles the root of the problem, irritants on the eye itself. It can also be used along with other treatments like avoiding allergens, using cool compresses, or adding supportive therapies for complete eye care. It’s especially helpful for:
If you have allergic conjunctivitis or react to pollen, dust, or other allergens, Rinsada helps by flushing these irritants out of your eyes, reducing the allergic response and making you feel more comfortable.
For dry, irritated eyes, Rinsada clears away buildup and inflammation. This helps improve your tear film and makes your eyes feel more refreshed and balanced.
Whether caused by pollution, smoke, or other triggers, Rinsada’s precise saline rinse can quickly calm the irritation and clean the surface of your eyes.
Rinsada is based on a simple but powerful medical principle, mechanical irrigation. This means using a steady stream of sterile saline to physically rinse away debris and reduce inflammation. It’s a technique used in other areas of medicine, and it works especially well for the eyes.
Here’s how it helps:
The Rinsada device is shaped to gently fit under your eyelid. It has several small openings that direct the saline to key areas of your eye, including parts that most drops or rinses can’t reach. This deep rinse helps clear away buildup and reduces inflammation that may be making your eyes feel itchy, red, or irritated.
Studies show that after using treatments like Rinsada, the levels of inflammation-related substances in the eye, such as MMP-9, go down. Lower MMP-9 levels are linked with fewer dry eye symptoms and better overall eye comfort.
By washing away irritants, allergens, and inflammatory cells, Rinsada helps your eyes reset. This gives your natural tear film a chance to stabilize and reduces the ongoing cycle of dryness and inflammation.
Rinsada is a gentle, in-office procedure designed to clean and refresh your eyes. Each step is carefully performed by our eye doctor to make sure the treatment is both safe and effective. Here’s what happens during the process:
Our eye doctor starts by opening a brand-new, sterile Rinsada device. They then fill a special syringe with a clean, preservative-free saline solution, usually around 10 to 15 milliliters. This solution is checked to make sure it’s completely pure and safe for your eyes.
The syringe is connected to the Rinsada device, and our eye doctor checks that the saline flows evenly from all openings before beginning the procedure.
You’ll be asked to look down while our eye doctor gently lifts your upper eyelid. The Rinsada device is placed under the lid and moved smoothly across, releasing a steady flow of saline to wash the inner eyelid and eye surface.
Next, you’ll look up as the same gentle rinse is done under your lower eyelid. This ensures the entire surface of your eye is thoroughly cleaned, including the harder-to-reach areas.
Any leftover fluid is gently wiped away, and our eye doctor will check how your eyes feel. Most patients feel immediate relief and can go right back to their usual activities with no downtime.

While Rinsada irrigation provides significant benefits, it is essential to weigh these against potential risks. The procedure is generally considered safe when performed by trained eye care professionals, but certain patients may require caution or alternative approaches.
Some key safety considerations include:
Common, transient side effects may include a temporary foreign body sensation, blurred vision, slight redness, or minor irritation following the procedure. These effects usually resolve within a short period, typically after the saline is absorbed and evaporates.
In rare instances, improper device handling might lead to conjunctival abrasions or, with repeated use, temporary blepharoptosis (drooping of the eyelid) due to tissue stress. Our eye doctors take great care to use gentle techniques, reducing these risks significantly.
Rinsada irrigation should be used with caution or avoided in patients with:
It is critical to use only sterile, preservative-free saline solution to avoid any risk of infection. The use of non-sterile solutions like tap water can lead to serious complications, including infections and potential vision loss.
At our clinic, your safety and comfort come first. Our eye doctors follow careful steps and best practices to make sure Rinsada irrigation is as safe and effective as possible. Here’s how we do that:
Before starting, we perform a full eye exam to check for any concerns that might affect how the treatment is done. We look at the health of your eyelids, eye surface, and any recent surgeries to make sure Rinsada is right for you.
For patients with sensitive eyes, we may use a gentle numbing drop before the rinse. This step isn’t always necessary, but it can make the experience more comfortable.
Our eye doctor will handle the Rinsada device with great care. It’s slowly inserted and removed to avoid any irritation or pressure on sensitive areas of the eye.
Before the rinse begins, we always check that the saline flows smoothly through all parts of the device. This ensures a complete, even rinse and reduces any risk of irritation.
Once the irrigation is complete, we examine your eyes again to make sure everything looks healthy. Some mild side effects, like slight redness or blurry vision, can happen but usually go away quickly. We’ll let you know what to expect and encourage you to reach out if anything unusual lasts.
