Ophthalmic Manifestations of Seborrheic Dermatitis.

Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a common, chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects the sebaceous tissues of the body. The meibomian glands of the eyelids are modified sebaceous glands. Involvement of the meibomian glands and their dysfunctioning are significant in SD; however, the ophthalmic features of SD have been poorly described in the literature. The ophthalmic manifestations of SD and the significance of ocular examinations in SD patients are discussed in this review.
