What is Rinsada?

Rinsada is a patented, advanced irrigating lid retractor engineered to access and flush the entire ocular surface — including the conjunctival fornix, the deep eyelid pocket that conventional treatments can miss.

Developed by ophthalmologist Dr. Srini Kondapalli after years of clinical research, Rinsada delivers a controlled stream of sterile saline to ocular surfaces, helping remove accumulated biofilm, bacteria, and allergens associated with chronic irritation.

No drugs. No chemicals. Comprehensive irrigation that may help break the cycle of inflammation and provide relief that lasts longer than hours.

The Only Treatment That Reaches the Fornix

Traditional rinses clean the surface. Rinsada is designed to clean the pocket behind your eyelid where irritants may accumulate.

Quick In-Office Procedure

Performed at Dover Eyes in just a few minutes per eye. Your care team can explain the procedure and answer questions before treatment.

Addresses Root Causes

By helping remove biofilm and allergen reservoirs, Rinsada may complement care intended to support a healthier ocular surface.

Why Rinsada Is Different

Traditional eye drops treat the surface. Rinsada is designed to reach deeper, addressing potential sources of discomfort.

Reaches the Fornix
The only treatment that accesses the deep conjunctival fornix — the hidden pocket behind your eyelid where biofilm and allergens accumulate.
Complete Ocular Irrigation
High-flow sterile saline flushes all surfaces simultaneously: fornix, palpebral conjunctiva, bulbar conjunctiva, and eyelid margins.
Drug-Free & Safe
Uses only sterile saline — no drugs, no chemicals. Safe for patients sensitive to medications or preservatives in eye drops.
Lasting Relief
Many patients experience sustained comfort for three or more months after a single in-office treatment session.

How Rinsada Works

A straightforward in-office procedure. Your eye care provider will walk you through each step.

Gentle Lid Retraction

The Rinsada device comfortably retracts your eyelids to expose the deep fornices where biofilm, bacteria, and allergens hide.

2

Comprehensive Irrigation

Controlled sterile saline thoroughly flushes all ocular surfaces, removing biofilm, bacteria, and allergens that trigger inflammation.

3

Inflammation Reduction

Removing these irritants may reduce inflammatory markers like MMP-9 by up to 70%, allowing your eye's natural healing to restore proper function.

4

Lasting Comfort

Relief can last 3+ months — far longer than traditional therapies — with many patients feeling improvement after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Rinsada treatment at Dover Eyes.

What is Rinsada and how is it different from eye drops?
Rinsada is an advanced irrigating lid retractor that accesses and flushes the entire ocular surface — including the deep conjunctival fornix — where traditional eye drops and saline rinses cannot reach. While drops provide temporary surface relief, Rinsada is designed to remove irritants such as biofilm, bacteria, and allergens.
What is the conjunctival fornix and why does it matter?
The conjunctival fornix is the flexible pocket formed where the eyelid lining folds back to meet the eye surface. It allows eye movement and distributes tears, but can also trap biofilm, bacteria, and allergens. Rinsada is designed to reach and clean this area.
Is the Rinsada procedure painful?
Most patients report mild pressure and find the sterile saline irrigation soothing. The procedure takes just a few minutes per eye; your optometrist can discuss what to expect during a consultation.
How long does relief last?
Many patients experience sustained improvement for three months or longer after a single treatment. Clinical studies report up to 70% reduction in inflammatory markers on the ocular surface.
Can Rinsada be combined with other dry eye treatments?
Rinsada may be used alongside warm compresses, eyelid hygiene, lubricating drops, and other care. Your optometrist will recommend an approach based on your individual needs.
Who is a good candidate for Rinsada?
Rinsada may be appropriate for some patients with dry eye disease, eye allergies, blepharitis, or meibomian gland dysfunction. Dr. Rached-Sassine can evaluate your condition and discuss whether it may be appropriate for you.
