Case report--ocular rosacea.

Rosacea is an uncommon disease of the eye and facial skin. Ocular rosacea is often undiagnosed by the ophthalmologist especially when skin manifestations are not evident yet. Early diagnosis and treatment is important to decrease morbidity of this potentially blinding disease. A case of ocular rosacea in a 14-year-old Chinese girl is reported. Our patient presented with chronic non-specific keratoconjunctivitis. Only much later did the characteristic corneal and facial skin lesions appear. She responded to guttae prednisolone, oral and guttae tetracycline. This case illustrates the difficulty of early diagnosis when ocular manifestations precede those of the skin. We believe this is the first case of ocular rosacea reported in Singapore.

Ocular manifestations in shaken baby syndrome.

In the absence of external physical signs, child abuse is not easy to diagnose. Shaken baby syndrome is a unique form of child abuse where the only consistent external physical signs are its ocular manifestations. We report two cases which illustrate the typical presentation, with hallmarks of this syndrome, namely intraocular and intracranial haemorrhages. The visual prognosis of these infants are usually poor.

Spontaneous intracorneal haemorrhage.

We describe the unusual complication of spontaneous intracorneal haemorrhage in a patient who used an extended-wear contact lens. This was severe enough to cause corneal blood staining and ulceration which required surgical intervention.
