Treatment of Ocular Rosacea With Laser

Ocular rosacea should avoid all refractive surgery techniques until their ocular rosacea symptoms are treated and managed and under control. Even after management, having refractive surgery with ocular rosacea may not be wise because of the possibility of reoccurring outbreaks.

Ocular rosacea can affect both the eye surface and eyelid. Symptoms can include redness, dry eyes, foreign body sensations, sensitivity of the eye surface, burning sensations and eyelid symptoms such as styes, redness, crusting and loss of eyelashes. Ocular rosacea can leave the eyes feeling irritated and "gritty".
