Ocular Rosacea - most of us don't do anything about it
I was just reading up on this study done by the National Rosacea Society: https://www.rosacea.org/weblog/survey-e ... -untreated
It found that even though a lot of those of us who have rosacea also have symptoms of ocular rosacea, 72 percent of us never do anything about it. We don't talk to our doctors about the feeling of dryness, sandiness and irritation in our eyes, even though it's there a lot of the time.
It's weird because I think I may have this and I've shrugged it off as seasonal allergies, and yet I've never done anything about it. I might just bring this up at my next doctor's appointment to be sure.
