Abstract

Rosacea is a common dermatosis with a variety of clinical manifestations. The eyes are often affected. The most frequent ocular findings are blepharitis and conjunctivitis. We describe three patients with rosacea in whom periorbital edema was the initial presentation. This symptom may be confused with other dermatoses and may be refractory to conventional treatments for rosacea.
