Rosacea's Ocular Picture

The Picture of Ocular Rosacea is viewed as an inflammatory eye condition. The most frequent symptoms of ocular rosacea are red inflamed corners of the eyelids with scales and crusts. It is reported that 50 to 60% of all rosacea sufferers also have some sort of symptoms with their eyes which is known as ocular rosacea. In one study (Starr, McDonald 1969) it was found that ocular rosacea symptoms occurred in 58% of patients.

People with ocular rosacea have a tendency to be overall more dehydrated than others. The eye is 96% water and one of the first areas of the body to shown signs of dehydration. Increasing your water intake will increase the moisture in the eye (thereby decreasing irritation and dryness).
