Descriptions of ocular rosacea features

Ocular rosacea features Description
Lid margin telangiectasia Visible vessels around the eyelid margins. May be difficult to detect visually in darker skin phototypes (V and VI)
Blepharitis Inflammation of the eyelid margin, most commonly arising from Meibomian gland dysfunction
Keratitis Inflammation of the cornea that can lead to defects and, in the most severe cases, vision loss
Conjunctivitis Inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the inner surface of the eyelids and bulbar conjunctiva. Typically associated with injection or vascular congestion and conjunctival oedema
Anterior uveitis Inflammation of the iris and/or ciliary body
