Overview
A healthcare provider or eye care specialist will diagnose ocular rosacea with a physical exam and eye exam. They’ll examine your skin and eyes. They might check your vision, too. Tell your provider about all the symptoms you’ve felt, even if they got better before your appointment.
Your symptoms, medical history and any triggers you’ve noticed are the only way to diagnose ocular rosacea, so every detail you share can help your provider diagnose it correctly.
