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

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

Detailed Description

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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical severity
Time Frame: Day of inclusion
Clinical severity is determined with a composite score, by the presence of chalazia, corneal lesions, neovascularization, phlyctena, loss of vision, superficial keratitis, anterior and posterior keratitis, meibomitis, palpebral margin keratinization, lagophthalmos, long term use of azithromycin treatment, treatment by ciclosporin eyedrops, intense cutaneous or ocular symptoms, long time evolution of the disease.
Day of inclusion
Meibographic severity
Time Frame: Day of inclusion
The meibographic severity is determined by the level of Meibomian gland atrophy, data obtained with the Lipiview
Day of inclusion
Interferometric severity
Time Frame: Day of inclusion
The interferometric severity is evaluated by the thickness of the lipid layer tear film, data obtained with the Lipiview
Day of inclusion
Number of abortive blinks
Time Frame: Day of inclusion
Number of abortive blinks during the Lipiview exam
