Papulopustular rosacea well controlled by soolantra. now have eye symptoms (see above) in both eyes. is this ocular rosacea or age related dy eyes? what is the defining difference? also treated for two bacterial infections in last three months.

Possibly 1 or both: rosacea can do this, but so can dry eye syndrome. Would suggest see an ophthalmologist to test for dry eye and sjogrens. Might treat with low dose doxy and use various types of eye drops as well.
