Impression Cytology and Ocular Characteristics in Ocular Rosacea

Abstract

Patients with ocular rosacea not only had decreased tear production but also tear instability. Ocular surface epithelium had significant degeneration in patients compared with normal subjects.

Group IIA phospholipase A2 concentration of tears in patients with ocular rosacea

“…In this study, a total of 76% of patients with ocular rosacea had symptoms of dry eye, which is in good agreement with other reports (Yaylali & Ozyurt 2002; Kocak‐Altintas et al 2003). The decrease of GIIAPLA 2 concentration in tears of patients with ocular rosacea was observed in this study in both patients with lacrimal hyposecretion and those with meibomian gland dysfunction (Table 3).…”

Clinical and laboratory study of ocular rosacea in northern Greece

“…According to this definition 62.5% of our rosacea patients fulfilled this criterion, which is a very high proportion when compared with the 20.8% of healthy controls. These findings are consistent with those of previous studies and they delineate the fact that rosacea, very often, is characterized by eye dryness 13,15,29 …”

Ocular signs, symptoms and tear function tests of papulopustular rosacea patients receiving azithromycin

“…Short TBUT (4.00–9.68 s) (below the normal limit of 10) in rosacea patients were reported by many authors 28–31 . In our study, the baseline mean TBUT was 7.78 ± 3.52 s (range: 1–11).…”

“…Short TBUT (4.00-9.68 s) (below the normal limit of 10) in rosacea patients were reported by many authors. [28][29][30][31] In our study, the baseline mean TBUT was 7.78 ± 3.52 s (range: 1-11). Although it was not statistically significant, TBUT increased from 7.78 ± 3.52 to 9.06 ± 2.41 s (range: 5-11) after 4 weeks.…”
