I treat it with a topical ointment, Rozex, and tetracycline, but neither of these seem effective.
Apparently, Princess Dianna had it and so do Bill Clinton and Alex Ferguson. Anyone know their ohone numbers? (Lol)

Rosacea of the skin may respond to these treatments. The tetracycline is often helpful for the gritty feeling in the eyes of ocular rosacea. Other oral antibiotics may help if the tetracycline didn’t. What do you mean affecting sight? Blurriness, distance vision? Usually rosacea causes itch or discomfort in the eye, but not visual changes. Topical steroids can make rosacea worse. UV light can cause irritation in many rosacea patients. Make sure the diagnosis is correct if the treatment is not helpful.
i wonder if narrow band uvb light treatments would work at the derm
my brother has this and takes a steroid ointment prescribed by a doctor for it. It works but he can’t go out in the sun long
