The simplest can be practicing ample lid hygiene, including control of the stubborn mites called Demodex. (see my earlier posts on these topics, here: https://www.eyethera.com/blog/demodex-the-tiny-mite-with-a-big-effect-on-dry-eye-disease and https://www.eyethera.com/blog/why-do-some-people-produce-pasty-meibum-part-4 (among others in earlier posts).

Clearly some of these patients had been referred by general eye doctors because they had exhausted treatments they could offer locally - so this group of patients might be regarded as the “worst of the worst,” as opposed to the more average patients with more average/milder levels of eye diseases. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee822744460d8193b3b78fd/0db74512-6fcc-41c7-adf6-213145cdfca5/Slide21.jpeg Blog - Rosacea and Dry Eyes Part 4 - why eye doctors get involved. - Make it stand out A “foreign body sensation” is also described as “a scratchy feeling” (like something got in the eye) and is perhaps one of the most common presenting complaints eye doctors see, along with burning (and, in pollen season, itching). Telangiectasias are the dilated, otherwise small blood vessels I described in the opening segment of ths series on Rosacea. Irregularities of the eyelid margin are common among those with chronic “blepharitis” (inflammation of the lids) and in those with a history of styes (which are also common in Rosacea patients). Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (or MGD) is an active cause of dry eye disease in up to 85% of sufferers - so while any one of these findings are beyond common to the majority of patients eye doctors see, the combination of these problems will most often indicate Ocular Rosacea. That 13 of these patients (or 10%) had compromised corneas which also compromised their vision is scary and even scarier is that six of these patients (roughly half) required corneal transplants (Penetrating Keratoplasty) in an attempt to restore their vision. Cicatrizing conjunctivitis is when there is scarring of the membrane over the white of the eye - which can lead to an inability to move the eye without causing pain and/or double vision and can lead to an inability to fully close the eye. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee822744460d8193b3b78fd/09e5ccd4-9a91-45b2-b9d4-30889acdf6dd/Slide22.jpeg Blog - Rosacea and Dry Eyes Part 4 - why eye doctors get involved. - Make it stand out We will get into treatment strategies for Rosacea in general, and Ocular Rosacea in particular in future posts. Of note, is that some of the patients in this series were left legally blind and one lost their eye as an uncommon but frightful result of this disease. Since this disease affects both skin and eyes, it may require the combined skills and efforts of skin (dermatologists) and eye doctors (optometrists and ophthalmologists). It also requires eye doctors to “step back” and look at the whole face of their patients (and for skin doctors to also look at their patients eyes).

Spider veins are even larger dilated vessels and a hemangioma is a cluster of dilated vessels creating a small, red patch. Nevus Flammeus is another word for a “Port Wine Stain” - seen as a birthmark that looks like a “splash” of ruby red wine - and caused by a larger group of dilated blood vessels. In this study, men dominated the abnormal vessel frequency (except for the hemangiomas). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee822744460d8193b3b78fd/1fbb63e2-e69a-4923-ad64-713f0e62872c/Slide16.jpeg Blog - Rosacea and Dry Eyes Part 3 - Commonly Associated Skin Conditions - Make it stand out Eczema is another word for sensitive skin and can come in as many as 7 different guises: https://nationaleczema.org/eczema/types-of-eczema/ Contact dermatitis is form of eczema causing a reaction of the skin to something that it comes into contact with (like the red, itchy blistery rash from poison ivy). Once skin is sensitized to something, anytime it comes in contact with “that thing,” it will react - typically more severely with subsequent contact. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee822744460d8193b3b78fd/004b26c9-43bc-4154-af63-667f21d778af/Mayo_Contact+Dermatitis.jpg Blog - Rosacea and Dry Eyes Part 3 - Commonly Associated Skin Conditions - Make it stand out https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/contact-dermatitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20352742#dialogId5001370 This is an excellent example from the Mayo Clinic, of patients I commonly see with contact dermatitis. They note: Contact dermatitis on the face Contact dermatitis often affects skin directly exposed to an offending substance. Here, the rash is likely caused by cosmetics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee822744460d8193b3b78fd/5f4e3702-18e7-4050-92ff-d85f6bcd2085/Seborrheic+Dermatitis+Face.jpg Blog - Rosacea and Dry Eyes Part 3 - Commonly Associated Skin Conditions - Make it stand out https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/seborrheic-dermatitis-vs-eczema Seborrheic Dermatitis is another common form of eczema that is frequently seen in patients with rosacea. It tends to affect oily skin such as the face and scalp. This fellow’s lids are affected along with most of his face. Each form of eczema requires its own type of treatment, and the area affected along with the degree of involvement will dictate the best treatment required. This will sometimes require the combined efforts of skin (Dermatologists) and eye specialists. In each case, if rosacea is an undercurrent, then that aspect should also be appropriately treated - along with any associated dry eye and related ocular surface diseases. More on this to come!

Intrafamilial Transmission of Rosacea Spanning Six Generations: A Retrospective Observational Study. J Clin Aesthet Dermatol. 2022 Feb;15(2):35-39. PMID: 35309876; PMCID: PMC8884184. In this study spanning 6 generations of families related to patients with rosacea, there was a high familial association (which in this figure, shows how early in life - as in this grandfather, the disease can be minimally noticeable until much later in life). Further: “The results showed that 64 of 130 patients (49.2%) were positive for at least a family member with rosacea. In addition, 90 affected relatives (69.2%) were identified by extending the familial investigation to the whole kindred, finding a percentage of familiarity (69.2%) higher than that reported in the literature (30-50%) with a 1:1.4. ratio of patients positive for familiarity/affected relative.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee822744460d8193b3b78fd/c3ab4c1c-26cf-4582-aeb7-a82eb647d6c5/Slide12.jpeg Blog - Rosacea and Dry Eyes Part 2 - How Common Is It? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee822744460d8193b3b78fd/8fcde3ad-09bd-43fa-bb44-b61276e4b495/Slide18.jpeg Blog - Rosacea and Dry Eyes Part 2 - How Common Is It? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.eyethera.com/blog/rosacea-and-dry-eyes-a-common-pairing-that-needs-recognition-and-treatment monthly 0.5 2024-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee822744460d8193b3b78fd/06ae3400-9ba5-43e1-982a-d44bbfbe383c/Slide6.jpeg Blog - Rosacea and Dry Eyes - a common pairing that needs recognition and treatment! - Make it stand out How Red is my face? ETR is all about the redness. Telangiectasias are the fine, red, “spider lines” caused by dilated superficial blood vessels. Less superficial vessels can dilate more broadly and give the general red hue to those affected. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee822744460d8193b3b78fd/137b33c4-e281-4397-9def-7cfe6fec428b/Slide7.jpeg Blog - Rosacea and Dry Eyes - a common pairing that needs recognition and treatment! - Make it stand out “I’m too old for zits!” Papulopustular Rosacea fits the “Rosacea as Adult-Acne” theme. Papules are red bumps, and pustules are “white-headed zits.” Erythema is the undercurrent of facial redness like the ETR type listed above. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee822744460d8193b3b78fd/85698db2-9b51-4f5a-a70e-812bc6d77dc1/Slide8.jpeg Blog - Rosacea and Dry Eyes - a common pairing that needs recognition and treatment! - Make it stand out Why is my nose swelling up? Phymatous Rosacea is sometimes referred to as the W. C. Fields’ “Whiskey Nose,” but does not need alcohol to trigger it.. Even emotional flushing with the right genetic makeup can fuel it. Swollen vessels carry lots of blood and the thinner walls of the dilated vessels can leak clear blood-fluids rich in growth factors - acting like fertilizer to affected skin and making it grow thicker and bigger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee822744460d8193b3b78fd/f63d432f-5430-45ff-8b53-0b6bff7425ca/Slide9.jpeg Blog - Rosacea and Dry Eyes - a common pairing that needs recognition and treatment! - Make it stand out A common cause of chronic “red eye” (though there are many others) - most patients will have both eyes affected - but not always equally - and styes are common. This type can occur in conjunction with any of the above rosacea subtypes but can also occur by itself or before the other types become obvious. Once it affects the clear window of the eye called the cornea, severe damage can occur (typically, KERATITIS - a form of inflammation that can lead to scarring and loss of vision if central, or less commonly, ULCERS - a thinning and weakening of the cornea commonly related to infections that can lead to perforation and loss of the eye). https://www.eyethera.com/blog/news-updates monthly 0.5 2025-04-13 https://www.eyethera.com/blog/co0y8yk9z9yw7l01arjifpu4t4lz03 monthly 0.5 2024-04-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee822744460d8193b3b78fd/1713056780459-N5ATZ16QPJK7G4RU71ND/AB600DDA-BEC3-4671-A0D5-134DEC9260F2.jpg Blog - Making Tears Part 8 - More on Making Proteins… - Make it stand out The nose-favored distribution of the “Protein Factories” called “Goblet Cells.” (tiny dots are the cells with some clusters as larger dots.

This patient has a geographic area of “torrid SPK” on the illuminated cornea, that looks a bit like a leaning chess rook, with some patchy, more typical SPK to the right of that “rook.” Looking further, we can see a small “divot” or “notch” in the margin of the lower eyelid, which is a common finding following the healing from a stye (this patient had a long history of them). We also see a little “foam” in the pit of that notch (indicating bacterial activity leading to inflammation of the lid and eye). Harder to appreciate in this blue-light image are blood vessels crossing the margin of the lower lid (squiggly lines) and dilated blood vessels on the white of the eye – all indicating degrees of inflammation – in this case a combination of evaporative dry eye disease, rosacea and related blepharitis (irritated eyelids). https://www.eyethera.com/blog/revisiting-thyroid-eye-disease-another-look-at-ted monthly 0.5 2023-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee822744460d8193b3b78fd/1679795354165-P4WNVFMN6Y37HOGB41W0/TED.png Blog - Revisiting Thyroid Eye Disease (another look at TED) - Make it stand out TED is not this patient’s real name but the acronym as described below.

The red zones are the driest and fastest to dry - in as little as 3.4 seconds in the Left eye and 5.5 seconds in the Right eye for this “test patient.” Their “Interblink Interval” is 5.2 seconds - so potentially “keeping up” with the Right eye but not the Left’s rate of evaporation. These measurements indicate this patient does not have good tears - and is likely to have significant MGD as a cause of their dry eyes. https://www.eyethera.com/blog/what-do-dry-eye-tests-mean-part-2 monthly 0.5 2023-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee822744460d8193b3b78fd/1598634633984-CBQJQ1CWMS5WVE4W8QIW/image-MBG-2.jpg Blog - What do dry eye tests mean?
