    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Dermatology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Ocular rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the eyes.
    • Common symptoms include foreign body sensation, burning, blepharitis, and chalazia.
    • Vision-threatening complications like corneal thinning and infiltrates can occur.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical presentation of ocular rosacea.
    • To identify new associated symptoms.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of oral tetracycline in treating ocular rosacea.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective chart review of 49 patients diagnosed with ocular rosacea.
    • Clinical signs and symptoms were documented.
    • Treatment with oral tetracycline (250 mg, four times daily) was administered to 37 patients.

    Main Results:

    • Common symptoms: foreign body sensation, burning, superficial punctate erosions, chalazia, blepharitis.
    • New associated symptoms identified: mapdot subepithelial opacities, recurrent erosions, severe foreign body sensation/pain/burning with minimal signs.
    • Oral tetracycline led to improvement in nearly all treated patients within 4-17 days.
    • Most patients successfully tapered or stopped tetracycline without recurrence.
    • Patients with foreign body sensation, burning, or pain required longer treatment duration.

    Conclusions:

    • Ocular rosacea has diverse clinical manifestations, including potentially vision-threatening complications.
    • Oral tetracycline is an effective treatment for ocular rosacea symptoms.
    • Treatment duration may need to be longer for patients experiencing significant discomfort.
