ABSTRACT
Rlsacea is chronic disease of the eye and facial skin, which is common in Caucasian. Ocular rosacea is often difficult for ophthalmologists to diagnose, especially when skin manifestations are not evident yet. Early diagnosis and early treatment is important to prevent its serious complications including corneal opacity and corneal perforation. A case of ocular rosacea in a 52-year-old Korean lady is reported. The patient was presented with hyperemic conjunctiva and vascularization, infiltration and thinning of the peripheral cornea. She did not have any specific skin lesion. But 20 years ago, she had suffered from rosacea. After administation of oral tetracycline and topicale and topical corticosteroid, the signs and symptoms of the ocular rosacea was markedly improved.
