I was diagnosed with occular rosacea. After many treatments including steroid drops and allergy drops as well as artificial tears daily I have had no relief. I have also recently developed a red dry patch on top of my eyelid. I am unsure what to do next. I have seen dr 6 times in regards to this. Symptoms are worse than ever...
Rosacea is caused by inherent defects in the body's immune system and vasoregulatory processes. Treatment is directed toward symptomatic control and disease prevention rather than cure.
When treating ocular rosacea, a stepwise approach can be undertaken, using first lid hygiene and artificial tears, followed by topical and oral anti-inflammatory medications, with late surgical intervention can be considered.
