There is an important link between skin and eye not always perceptive to dermatologists and ophthalmologists, much less the fact that many cutaneous diseases course with ocular manifestations. These may range from the relatively frequent diseases such as acne rosacea, allergic diseases like contact eczema and atopic dermatitis with its associated chronic eye lid and conjunctival inflammation, to the profoundly vision-threatening ocular consequences of ichthyoses, Beh�et?s disease, cicatricial pemphigoid, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, pseudoxanthoma elasticum, infectious conditions including ophthalmic herpes zoster and periorbital cellulitis. Even some types of skin cancer may involve the eyelid. Moreover, some drugs used in Dermatology namely antimalarials, corticosteroids and photosensitizers, may induce ocular adverse events implicating ophthalmologic examination on a regular basis.
