Avoid Triggers for Flare-ups

It is also important for patients who suffer from ocular rosacea to avoid triggers for flare-ups. If allergies are causing the eyes to become inflamed and red, it is important to avoid them. Allergies cause the eye to release more histamine when they are exposed to pet dander or pollen. Often it will cause the eyes to become inflamed. It is also important to avoid rubbing the eyes during a flare-up, except to clean them because it will make the eyes more inflamed. The cells of the eye will release more itch-causing chemicals when they are rubbed to consistently. Wear sunglasses outside as sunlight or extreme temperatures may be a trigger for ocular rosacea. Some other factors can aggravate the eye, including alcohol, spicy foods, hot baths or saunas, and some medications. Complications from these triggers may lead to irritating the cornea or causing visual symptoms.
