Rosacea is a dermatologic condition that affects the midfacial region. Ocular rosacea is most frequently diagnosed when cutaneous signs and symptoms are also present. Ocular manifestations are essentially confined to the eyelids and ocular surface. Ocular involvement ranges from minor irritation, dryness, and blurry vision to potentially severe ocular surface disruption including corneal ulcers, vascularization and rarely perforation. We present a 49-year-old Saudi Arabian female with the diagnosis of rosacea who presented with a peripheral corneal performation. The perforation was successfully managed by surgical repair, oral doxycycline and topical steroid. The final best corrected visual acuity was 20/30 after treatment. Early referral to an ophthalmologist and careful long-term follow-up are recommended.

A 54-year-old male presented to our ophthalmology clinic with a diagnosis of the right central retinal vein occlusion with macular edema. The patient was treated with dexamethasone intravitreal implant. Three days after the implant insertion, the patient experienced pain, redness and blurred vision in the same eye. With a provisional diagnosis of acute endophthalmitis, a combination of ceftazidime 2.25 mg/0.1 ml and vancomycin 1 mg/0.1 ml was injected intravitreally. One week after the treatment, endophthalmitis signs and symptoms subsided. This report presents a case of endophthalmitis following dexamethasone intravitreal implant, with a favorable outcome after treatment with intravitreal antibiotic injection without removal of the implant.
