Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes redness of the face. Ocular rosacea causes redness, irritation, and itching of the eyes.  Sometimes dry or irritated eyes are the first sign of rosacea. 

​

The inflammation overlaps into blepharitis, which is inflammation of the eyelids, and can cause concurrent meibomian gland dysfunction. Depending on the severity, the treatments range from at-home lid scrubs and hot compress to in-office therapy with Mibo Thermoflo, therapeutic eyedrops, or meibomian gland expression.
