Glad to correspond with any child ocular rosacea parents (personal message or boards). Sounds like poor Sheri had corneal erosions, probably undiagnosed and untreated blepharitis/dry eye.

I would also have bouts of total redness, like from an injury, not just red blood vessels. When I was 17, I went to the eye doctor for irritated eyes, and ended up in surgery for a hole in my eye. I was in the hospital for a week on major antibiotics after the surgery. About 6 months later, the other eye developed a hole, this time right in the center of my cornea. It was suggested to me by my parents and doctor, that possibly I had somehow done this to myself.(yeah, right.) Could it have been my ocular rosacea? I am now 43 and have chronic chalazions and dry eyes. If you have any ideas about rosacea and this kind of problem in teens, I would appreciate it. It would certainly clear up a lot of nagging questions for me! Thank you, Sheri Kennedy I had severe eye problems as a teenager – irritated, infected eyes constantly.
