I have mild Rosacea and while I have some of the tell tale red lines on my eye lids .. I haven't been diagnosed with ocular rosacea at all. I use a prescription gel, MetroGel, every evening before bed. I only use mild cleanser on my face, I don't wear any make up, I don't use astrigents, I use clinique lotion on my face. I also stay out of direct sun, I wear a hat, shades and sun screen.

According to my dermatologist, the key is to maintain - because there is no cure for Rosacea, you just have to "manage" it.

I think once you get your rosacea under control, you will be able to maintain with fewer and fewer flareups. Did your doctor prescribe metrogel for you ??

Good luck,

YES...... I have the Metrogel and have been using it for about 2 weeks now, and I do all the things that you listed in the first part of your post...... I rarely wear make-up any more and I only use Cetaphil (cleanser & lotion w/ SPF 15) on my face, as perscribed by my Dermatologist.

I guess only time will tell................. as YOU have said.

I will be able to greatly reduce "The Stress" in my life come this June.... please keep fingers crossed.

Thanks...
