This might be interesting for the problem with ocular rosacea. I found this information in the german internet:
http://www.ophthalmologie.de/vortraege.htm
4.3 Hornhaut:
Rosacea-Keratitis: Bei der Keratitis rosacea ist eine über Verbesserung durch die Gabe von
Riboflavin in bis zu 90 % der Fälle berichtet worden. (translated: in Rosacea Keratitis there was an improvement in 90% of cases after giving Riboflavine (other name is Vitamine B2)
And I found something in English too:
http://home.caregroup.org/clinical/altmed/interactions/Nutrients/Vitamin_B2.htm
Johnson, Eckardt. Rosacea keratitis and conditions with vascularization of the cornea treated with B2. Arch Ophthamol. 1940;23:899.
Abstract: 32 of 36 patients with rosacea keratitis had prompt healing following small doses: 1-4.5 mg/day orally or by injection of B2. 9 of these patients also had cutaneous rosacea and 5 of them improved. All of these patients had inadequate dietary B2 or were hypochlorhydric.
Hope this helps,
Barbara
