Diagnosis
Eye rosacea
Diagnosing ocular rosacea involves a comprehensive clinical evaluation by a healthcare provider, who will examine the symptoms, medical history, and possible triggers. Specific diagnostic tests for ocular rosacea do not exist, making the process reliant on symptom observation and exclusion of other conditions.
Diagnostic Approach
- Symptom Evaluation: The healthcare provider will review the patient’s symptoms, medical history, and potential triggers.
- Physical Examination: An examination of the eyes, eyelids, and facial skin will be conducted to identify signs of rosacea.
- Exclusion of Other Conditions: Differential diagnoses include seborrheic dermatitis, periorificial dermatitis, and other inflammatory or infectious ocular conditions.
