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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Clinical severity [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.
- Meibographic severity [Day of inclusion]
The meibographic severity is determined by the level of Meibomian gland atrophy, data obtained with the Lipiview
- Interferometric severity [Day of inclusion]
The interferometric severity is evaluated by the thickness of the lipid layer tear film, data obtained with the Lipiview
- Number of abortive blinks [Day of inclusion]
Number of abortive blinks during the Lipiview exam
