Overview
Ocular rosacea is a condition that causes inflammation in your eyes and the skin around them. It’s a specific type of rosacea — a skin disease that causes inflammation and discoloration on your whole face. Healthcare providers sometimes call ocular rosacea “meibomian gland dysfunction.”
Ocular rosacea might make your eyes and the skin around them feel irritated, painful, itchy and uncomfortable when you’re having a symptom flare-up.
There’s no cure for ocular rosacea, but a healthcare provider or eye care specialist will help you manage your symptoms and avoid the triggers that make them worse.
