What is Ocular Surface Disease, and What Causes It?

Ocular Surface Disease (OSD) refers to a group of conditions that affect the surface of the eye, including the cornea, conjunctiva, and tear film. It often results in symptoms like dryness, irritation, redness, blurry vision, and a gritty sensation.

Common causes include dry eye syndrome, meibomian gland dysfunction, allergic reactions, infections, and autoimmune disorders such as Sjögren's syndrome. Environmental factors like prolonged screen time, low humidity, contact lens wear, and certain medications can also contribute to OSD.

Left untreated, it can impact vision and eye comfort significantly, making early diagnosis and management essential.

At our clinic, we invest in some of the most advanced eye care technology available today to ensure precise diagnosis and effective treatment. These innovations allow us to detect issues earlier, customize care plans, and monitor progress with exceptional accuracy.

In-Depth Tear Gland and Functional Dry Eye Assessment

We offer advanced testing and assessment of tear gland function and dry eyes, using cutting-edge technology such as:

  • Oculus Keratograph 5M

    This advanced imaging tool evaluates tear film quality, meibomian gland health, and corneal irregularities, allowing for comprehensive, non-invasive diagnosis of dry eye and ocular surface disease.

  • TearLab

    Our team uses this technology to measure tear osmolarity—an essential marker of dry eye disease—providing quick, reliable results that help guide targeted treatment and monitor patient response to therapy over time.

  • Inflammadry

    This tool is used to detect elevated MMP-9 levels, a key marker of inflammation in dry eye disease, enabling early intervention and more effective, personalized treatment strategies for managing ocular surface inflammation.

Dry Eye and Aesthetics Treatments

Treatments we offer at our The Landings eye clinic include:

  • IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)

    IPL therapy uses light pulses to reduce inflammation and improve meibomian gland function in dry eye patients. It also enhances skin tone and texture for aesthetic rejuvenation.

  • Radiofrequency

    Radiofrequency gently heats the eyelid area, stimulating collagen production and unclogging meibomian glands. This improves tear flow and tightens skin, offering both dry eye relief and cosmetic benefits.

  • LipiFlow

    LipiFlow combines heat and gentle pressure to clear blocked meibomian glands. This in-office treatment restores natural oil flow to the tear film, providing lasting relief from evaporative dry eye.

  • BlephEx

    BlephEx is a handheld device that exfoliates the eyelid margins, removing bacteria, biofilm, and debris. It treats blepharitis and enhances overall eyelid hygiene, reducing inflammation and improving tear quality.

  • ZEST

    ZEST (Zocular Eyelid System Treatment) uses a natural okra-based gel to deep-clean eyelids, removing oil, debris, and contaminants. It's gentle yet effective for managing dry eye and eyelid inflammation.

Medical Management of Ocular Surface Disease

We offer the following technologies for superior medical management of your OSD:

  • Amniotic Membranes

    Amniotic membranes promote healing of the ocular surface by reducing inflammation and scarring. Used in moderate to severe cases, they support corneal regeneration and enhance patient comfort during recovery.

  • Punctal Plugs

    Punctal plugs are tiny inserts placed in the tear ducts to retain moisture on the eye's surface. They help relieve dryness by preventing tear drainage, improving hydration and comfort.

  • Rx Drops

    Prescription eye drops, including anti-inflammatories and immunomodulators, target the root causes of ocular surface disease. These medications help reduce symptoms, control inflammation, and support long-term eye health and comfort.

  • Serum Tears

    Serum tears are custom-made eye drops derived from a patient's own blood serum. Rich in growth factors and nutrients, they promote healing and relief in severe dry eye and ocular damage.

  • At-Home Therapies

    At-home treatments like warm compresses, lid scrubs, omega-3 supplements, and humidifiers support daily management of ocular surface disease, helping maintain tear stability and reduce flare-ups between office visits.

Fantastic staff and Drs. Really caring people.
Michael T. - Apr 20, 2026
For the last 6 months or so, I have been having trouble with my right eye. It just ACHES on occasion... . I went to a Doctor of Optometry in Ft. Collins, who referred me to a clinic in The Republic of Bouldah. Well, I made that drive (Twice!) in the course of 10 days, because the OD in FC *thought* she saw a problem with my retina. To make a long story short (yeah, I know . . . too late!), there was NO problem. After cold calling Dr. Matthew Skrdla, mainly because of 350 5-star reviews on Google, I was able to get in today, Monday April 20th. Dr. Skrdla is an OD as well, in an office in The Landings. His office has been there for around five years, if I remember my conversation with "Zoey" correctly. He took all the time he needed to look at my eyes, moving me from specialty machine to specialty machine, designed to look into the depths of my eyes, if not my soul. In the end, he came up with several versions of exactly WHY my eye might be aching. I asked him to tell me in layman terms what they were, but even his "dumbed down" version was more than I can follow. Not really, but it is certainly more than I can repeat. After the exam, Zoey took over the process, showing me different frames for lenses. As a first-time customer, as she said, they offered me a 40% DISCOUNT on my first pair of glasses. The same discount will apply to the second pair as well, when *if* the first pair works out. She gave me a time frame to buy the second pair with the same discount, which, as I recall, was 90 days. I certainly felt as if it was plenty of time to evaluate the first pair. It will take a few weeks to get my new glasses in. In the meanwhile, I will make do with my 1.75 diopter "readers", which have gotten me this far. As it turns out, my right eye has an astigmatism, and BOTH eyes need 2.25 diopter correction lenses! There was more to it than that, but THAT is a good beginning. Zoey will be in touch when it's time to move forward with my new eyes. I can hardly wait!
