    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Ocular rosacea is a common condition in ophthalmology referral practices.
    • Its signs and symptoms often overlap with other ocular surface diseases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the prevalence of ocular rosacea in a cornea/external disease referral practice.
    • To identify common and less common clinical signs and symptoms.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of oral tetracycline treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of patient records in a cornea/external disease referral practice.
    • Documentation of clinical signs, symptoms, and treatment outcomes.
    • Administration of oral tetracycline (250 mg q.i.d.) for treatment.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Ocular rosacea diagnosed in 6.3% of patients.
    • Common symptoms include foreign body sensation, burning, chalazia, and blepharitis.
    • Vision-threatening signs include corneal thinning, vascularization, and infiltrates.
    • New associated symptoms: map dot subepithelial opacities, recurrent erosions, and severe discomfort with minimal signs.
    • Oral tetracycline showed improvement in nearly all patients within 4-17 days.
    • Recurrences noted in patients with persistent foreign body sensation, burning, or pain upon therapy cessation.

    Conclusions:

    • Ocular rosacea is prevalent and presents with varied signs and symptoms.
    • Oral tetracycline is an effective treatment for most patients.
    • Long-term management may be necessary for certain symptom presentations.
