Guest guest Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 Hi, I'm new. Just read Dr. Nase's book. Tried to read most of the highlights. I've had rosacea for 9 years. I went to an opthamologist when I was first diagnosed and he didn't seem to understand that rosacea had an ocular component. He said he had never seen anyone with it and that my eyes looked fine. So I ignored the whole thing. So nine years of metrogel and city block later and here I am with ocular rosacea. It really scares me. Anybody know of a good opthamologist in Atlanta, Georgia? Also, the doxycycline (I just started on it) seems to be helping my eyes, but it also seems to be making me flush. Nothing in my routine has changed except adding doxycycline. Could it be making me flush? My face has suddenly gotten worse as far as redness and flushing goes. Anyone? I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 I was just wondering what the symptoms are when the rosacea produces an ocular reaction. I have found my eys are more sun sensitive and become watery sometimes during a flush. Are these the first symptoms? > Hi, > > I'm new. Just read Dr. Nase's book.
