About Ocular Rosacea
Ocular Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition that primarily affects the eyes, causing redness, irritation, and other uncomfortable symptoms. It is often associated with rosacea, a skin disorder, but it can also occur independently. If left untreated, it may lead to more severe eye problems such as corneal damage. Dr. Suraj Munjal, a leading ophthalmologist, specializes in diagnosing and treating ocular rosacea with effective solutions tailored to individual needs.
Causes of Ocular Rosacea
Ocular rosacea doesn’t have a single, well-known cause, but several factors may contribute to its development:
- Genetics: A family history of rosacea or other inflammatory conditions may increase your risk.
- Environmental factors: Sun exposure, wind, and extreme temperatures can trigger symptoms.
- Immune system response: Overactive immune responses may lead to inflammation in the eyes.
- Bacterial infections: Certain bacteria, such as Helicobacter pylori, may be linked to ocular rosacea.
Types of Ocular Rosacea
Ocular rosacea can manifest in various forms, often depending on its severity:
- Mild Ocular Rosacea: Involves slight redness and irritation, mostly in the eyelids.
- Moderate Ocular Rosacea: Includes noticeable redness, dryness, and a gritty sensation in the eyes.
- Severe Ocular Rosacea: Can lead to more serious complications like corneal damage and vision impairment if left untreated.
