“…73,[79][80][81][82] Despite the increased prevalence in those with fair complexion, rosacea does occur in black patients. 83,84 However, these findings should be considered cautiously. Even patients with proved photoinduced disorders, such as tumid lupus, are often unaware of the sun's effect on their skin, especially when the effect is slow to appear.…”

“…While the enhancement of vessels in rosacea of the skin 1 and other disorders 6 has been described in the dermatology literature, we are not aware of prior reports describing the utility of cross-polarizing filters for imaging the eyelids. Blepharitis and MGD are under-diagnosed in ophthalmology, particularly in patients with heavily pigmented skin 24 ; and patients often present with non-specific signs or symptoms. 25 Earlier clinical diagnosis of blepharitis and MGD, along with improved research end-points, could result from the application of cross-polarization imaging.…”

Purpose To describe imaging the external eye with crossed polarizers to enhance clinically important features in digital photographs of the eyelids. Methods External photographs with and without crossed polarizing filters were taken of patients with blepharitis and controls with no clinical eye pathology. Results Photographing eyelid skin through crossed polarizers decreased reflections on the skin surface and improved visualization of eyelid telangiectasias and blood vessels in patients with a broad range of skin pigmentation and ethnicities. Conclusions The use of crossed polarizers in imaging the external eye reduces reflections and glare from the eyelid skin and margins, thereby allowing for a more detailed evaluation of underlying structures and analysis of images. These findings suggest that including crossed polarizers in clinical photography has informative applications for assessing eyelid disease.
