If you're looking to relax to the sweet sounds of your colleagues talking about diagnosing and treating ocular surface disease, then this is the episode for you! All of these articles can be found in the July/August issue of Modern Optometry and are read by the authors themselves. First up is Damon Dierker, OD, FAAO, with a summary of the latest innovations in dry eye treatment (0:56), followed by Seema Nanda, OD, who has some great tips for differentiating between Sjögren syndrome dry eye and non-Sjögren syndrome dry eye (9:37). The next article in the episode is from the issue's subfocus on the female eye, but also crosses into the realm of ocular surface disease. Tracy Doll, OD, FAAO, provides an examination of the changing ocular surface through the stages of life (21:32). Last but not least, no episode would be complete without the latest addition of our Up Close column (31:35). This time you'll learn all about MOD's own Leslie O'Dell, OD, FAAO.

The latest episode of The MOD Pod brings you three more articles from the May/June of Modern Optometry. Hear Ryan McKinnis, OD, FAAO, FSLS, talk about managing ocular trauma with scleral lenses. Christopher Lopez, OD, shares some tips he and his co-author, Marcus Noyes, OD, FAAO, FSLS, put together for fitting children with specialty contact lenses. In the last story of the episode, Lori L. Grover, OD, PhD, offers important takeaways about the COVID-19 pandemic from public health evidence.
