Ocular rosacea, a potentially blinding eye condition, is often missed by doctors, especially when skin symptoms are absent. Early detection and treatment are crucial for managing this uncommon disease.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Rosacea is an uncommon condition affecting the eyes and facial skin.
  • Ocular rosacea frequently goes undiagnosed, particularly when skin manifestations are not yet apparent.

Observation:

  • A case of ocular rosacea in a 14-year-old Chinese girl is presented.
  • The patient initially exhibited chronic, non-specific keratoconjunctivitis.
  • Characteristic corneal and facial skin lesions developed later in the disease progression.

Findings:

  • The patient's ocular rosacea responded to treatment with prednisolone eye drops and oral and topical tetracycline.
  • This case highlights diagnostic challenges when ocular symptoms precede skin lesions.

Implications:
