Ocular Rosacea Symptoms

Ocular Rosacea is an inflammation of the eyes which can result in a burning or sandy feeling in the eyes. Ocular rosacea may also appear as red, inflamed and swollen eyelids with small bumps and a bloodshot appearance. The ocular symptoms are completely separate from the facial symptoms of rosacea. 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 severe ocular rosacea, it is not uncommon to have a corneal infection which, if untreated, may even lead to perforation of the eye.
