Highlighting Ocular Rosacea During National Awareness Month

[Baltimore, MD] – With April marking National Rosacea Awareness Month, The Dry Eye Center of Maryland is bringing attention to one of the lesser-known forms of this condition: Ocular Rosacea. Characterized by redness, irritation, and discomfort in the eyes, Ocular Rosacea often goes undiagnosed and can significantly impact the quality of life.

Ocular Rosacea can manifest as persistent eye redness, a gritty feeling similar to having a foreign body in the eye, or increased sensitivity to light. These symptoms can be easily mistaken for other eye conditions, which is why awareness is crucial.

"Many patients come to us with symptoms they can't explain, and often they've been dealing with discomfort for a long time without knowing the cause," says a specialist at The Dry Eye Center of Maryland. "During Rosacea Awareness Month, we want to highlight the importance of identifying this condition because there are effective treatments available that can provide relief."

The Dry Eye Center of Maryland encourages individuals to observe their symptoms and consider if they may be related to Ocular Rosacea. The clinic emphasizes the importance of understanding potential triggers, which can include stress, exposure to sunlight, certain foods and beverages, and environmental factors like wind and cold.

The center offers a personalized approach to treatments, which may involve incorporating lifestyle adjustments, specialized skin care products, medical therapies, and the latest FDA-approved Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment for ocular rosacea, all tailored to each patient's unique needs.

"For those suffering from Ocular Rosacea, small changes in their daily routine, along with professional care, can lead to significant improvements. Our goal is to help patients not just manage their symptoms, but also enhance their overall eye health," the specialist adds.

The Dry Eye Center of Maryland is open for consultations and invites anyone experiencing symptoms of Ocular Rosacea to schedule an appointment to explore their treatment options.
