Book excerpt: Excerpt from Archives of Ophthalmology, Vol. 47: Founded in 1869 The ocular localizations of acne rosacea have been studied with great interest in late years. Although its existence was pointed out by Arlt in 1864 and afterwards described by Fuchs and Vossius, the characteristic signs of the disease were only definitely stated by Capauner (1), Kuntz (2), Wicherckiewicz (3), Schirmer (4), Blancke (5), Sydney Stephenson (6), and later by Erdmann (7), Holloway (8), Caralt (9), and others (10). Erdmann proposed the names of Rosacea Keratitis and Rosacea Conjunctivitis, which have been adopted, and accordingly this disease is so described in modem text-books and monographs, but these names in our opinion are limited and must be substituted by the more comprehensive term of Rosacea Ocularis. Although numerous cases of this disease have been published in recent years, the clinical aspects of the varied manifestations of rosacea of the eye have not yet been described, nor its etiology and pathogenesis entirely proved.
