I began applying a warm compress to my eyes five or six times each day, followed by over-the-counter eye drops without preservatives. Avoiding preservatives is important because, as the ophthalmologist told me, after a while the preservatives start to have a negative impact. Although the eye regime is a chore and negatively impacts quality of life, my eyes now feel fine.

I have had rosacea and ocular rosacea for more than 20 years.  My eyes have always been worse than my face and have always experienced redness, burning and itchiness.  Sometimes the burning was so unbearable I could barely stand to keep my eyes open.
