External eye photos and OCT scans of patients with ocular rosacea. (a–c) Obstruction of meibomian glands in the upper and lower eyelids and facial erythema were found in case 16, a 27-year-old female patient with bilateral ocular rosacea. (d–g) In this case (case 16), subepithelial infiltration along the advancing vascular border from the superior temporal and superior limbus was found in the right eye (d,e) and left eye (f,g). (h–k) The radial cross-sectional scans of SD-OCT of the superior and inferior limbus in both the eyes. Blue arrows: An unsmooth epithelial–stromal interface. White arrows: Engorged stromal vessels with enlarged lumen diameters. Red arrow: The decreased epithelial thickness of the POV. (l–o) Case 11 of ocular rosacea. Prominent obstruction of the meibomian gland and corneal neovascularization with subepithelial infiltration mainly in the lower half of the cornea were found in the right eye. However, neovascularization from limbus was found in all quadrants (l,m). The left eye was diagnosed to be “presumed-healthy” through slit-lamp biomicroscopy (n,o). (p–s) SD-OCT of the presumed-healthy left eye (p,q) showed a decreased epithelial thickness of the POV and (r) a decreased density of the POV in the upper limbus. Red arrow: a decreased epithelial thickness of the POV. White arrows: the location of POV shadows.
