Symptoms of OSD can vary depending on the underlying condition but often include:

  • Dryness: A persistent feeling of dryness or itchiness in the eyes.
  • Irritation: A sense of discomfort or irritation in the eyes.

  • Redness: Redness of the eyes due to irritation.
  • Discharge: Abnormal eye discharge that may indicate an underlying issue.

The exact causes of OSD are multifaceted and can involve:

  • Decreased Tear Production: Inadequate tear production can lead to dry eyes.
  • Meibomian Gland Dysfunction: Dysfunction of oil-producing Meibomian glands can cause tear evaporation.
  • Eyelid Disorders: Conditions like blepharitis can lead to inflammation and eye discomfort.
  • Medical Conditions: Conditions such as diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis can increase the risk of OSD.
  • Environmental Factors: Wind, dust, and smoke exposure can exacerbate OSD.

Treatment for OSD depends on the specific condition and its severity. Common treatments include:

  • Artificial Tears: Lubricating eye drops to relieve dryness.
  • Punctal Occlusion: A procedure to block tear ducts, preserving moisture.
  • LipiFlow®: Nonsurgical therapy using heat and massage to improve Meibomian gland function.
  • Eyelid Hygiene: Good eyelid hygiene to reduce inflammation and irritation.
  • Taking breaks from activities that can dry out your eyes, such as prolonged computer use.
  • Avoiding smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke.
  • Using artificial tears as needed.
  • Maintaining clean eyelids and practicing good eyelid hygiene.
  • Regularly seeing an eye doctor for checkups and early diagnosis.

What treatments are effective for OSD (Ocular Surface Disease)?

Ocular surface diseases are not limited to the above conditions; however, they encompass a range of conditions that affect the delicate tissues on the eye's surface. These conditions can cause discomfort, blurred vision, and even impact your overall eye health. Some common ocular surface diseases include:

Amniotic Membrane Transplant

This procedure utilizes amniotic membrane as a graft to facilitate the healing of ocular surface damage. It has been employed for various ocular surface conditions, promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation and discomfort. Amniotic membrane transplantation is considered a valuable option for managing OSD.

Mucous Membrane Grafting

Mucous membrane grafting involves using a layer of mucous membrane (usually from the lips or cheeks) to serve as a foundation for repairing the ocular surface. This technique is often used for conditions such as Steven Johnson syndrome, chemical injuries, and more.

Simple Limbal Epithelial Transplantation (SLET)

SLET is a cutting-edge procedure for treating OSD. It involves transplanting healthy limbal stem cells from a donor eye to the damaged eye, allowing the regeneration of the corneal surface. SLET is known for its effectiveness and has become a preferred option for certain cases.
