Clinical, Meibographic and Interferometric Evaluation of Phlyctenular Keratitis in Children - MEIBO-ROSACEE

Clinical, Meibographic and Interferometric Evaluation of Phlyctenular Keratitis in Children - MEIBO-ROSACEE

The aim of this study is to describe the clinical, meibographic and interferometric manifestations of phlyctenular keratitis in children.

The investigators are conducting a monocentric, transversal, epidemiologic study. 100 patients should be included: 50 children suffering from ocular rosacea, and 50 children with no palpebral or Meibomian disease. Witnesses will be matched on the age of the cases.

Patient and controls will undergo a classic ophthalmologic examination with visual acuity measurement and slit lamp examination of both eyes and eyelids. Then, the child will go through a meibographic and interferometric evaluation of his two inferior eyelids. This evaluation is made by an optometrist with the Lipiview device, and lasts a few minutes.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Recruited from a specialized ophthalmologic consultation Rothschild Ophthalmologic Foundation, Paris, France.
• Cases : suffering from ocular or oculo-cutaneous rosacea
• Witnesses : without any present or past palpebral or meibomian disease

Exclusion Criteria:

• Unable to achieve the meibographic and interferometric examination (Lipiview)
