The lasers that treat diabetic retinopathy now are able to seal shut blood vessels in the eyelid (which would help with inflammation and meibomian gland dysfunction) and on the surface of the eye (to help with ocular inflammation. Below is a little more information.

I am starting to get good interviews with a select few laser eye specialists who are tallking to the laser companies on how to procede with aggressive ocular rosacea treatment via microlasers. Will keep you posted.

Dr. Nase,
I was hoping that whenever you get a chance if you could post an update on the treatment of ocular rosacea with lasers, because Dr. Nase I have to say that this eye problem is the worst part of this thing, I am in pain every second of my life. I'm scared of doing this, but I am willing because this is the most depressing part of rosacea to me. It's not just cosmetic, it hurts so bad all the time to where I can't function, burning dry eyes every second. I'm only 20 and I'm honestly scared Dr. Nase about my vision and what will happen, it's already severe and has been for 6 years. I've been on every new and old therapy known. Thanks again for all your time.

**PS- Is there a specific name of a doctor who you can give me that successfully does this in the U.S.? I see Dr. Wittpenn here on Long island (he's mentioned in your book), but he doesn't perform this currently, I hope he will in the future.

I dont think its anything else than experimental treatment at hospitals right now, however there are some opthas having Lumenis One (if you search on the Lumenis.com site for Lumenis One practitioners in the US)
