Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can present with ocular comorbidities. Ocular complications are more prevalent in individuals with AD compared to the general population and can cause notable morbidity. This article reviews the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, and management of common ocular complications associated with AD, including blepharitis, keratoconjunctivitis, keratoconus, glaucoma, cataracts, retinal detachment, ophthalmic herpes simplex virus infections, and dupilumab-associated ocular complications. It is important for dermatologists to be aware of the signs and symptoms of these ocular complications, as timely diagnosis and treatment can prevent irreversible vision loss.Entities:
