Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE: To report a rare case of a 19-year-old girl who presented with spontaneous bilateral corneal perforation in a setting of ocular rosacea.METHODS: Ocular rosacea was diagnosed and treated with doxycycline. Cyanoacrylate glue was applied to treat corneal perforations.RESULTS: At six months follow up there is good healing, visual acuity has improved, anterior chamber is deep with no Seidel.CONCLUSIONS: Rosacea is a multifactorial disease with an unclear pathophysiology. The ocular manifestations of rosacea (ocular rosacea) may occur without skin involvement, are not specific and can range from mild blepharitis to sight-threatening conditions. This case shows how ocular rosacea can lead to serious vision-threatening complications with mild symptoms. Cyanoacrylate glue and systemic antibiotic treatment are effective treatments.PMID:37915114 | DOI:10.1177/11206721231212087{url} = URL to article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
