Preferred Label : Ocular rosacea;
ICD-11 definition : Manifestations of ocular rosacea range from minor irritation, foreign body sensation,
dryness, and blurry vision to severe ocular surface disruption and inflammatory keratitis.
Patients frequently describe a gritty feeling, and they commonly experience blepharitis
and conjunctivitis. Other ocular findings include lid margin and conjunctival telangiectases,
eyelid thickening, eyelid crusts and scales, chalazia and hordeola, punctate epithelial
erosions, corneal infiltrates, corneal ulcers, corneal scars, and vascularization.
Sight-threatening disease is rare with rosacea; however, keratitis can result in sterile
corneal ulceration and eventual perforation if not treated aggressively.;
