Does rosacea on the face require any special preparation for eye surgery, or create a higher risk of infection?
Unless rosacea directly affects the eyelid or the eye itself, it should not interfere with eye surgery. Before performing surgery, the doctor will conduct a thorough examination to identify any conditions requiring treatment, in order to ensure that surgery is safe and successful. Patients with rosacea who are not exhibiting symptoms should inform the doctor.
