Abstract
Atopic comorbidities include ocular surface involvement, especially atopic keratoconjunctivitis (eyelid eczema and pruritus can be it´s signal), keratoconus, cataracta, glaucoma and retinal detachment, which can lead to severe and permanent visual impairment. Dermatologist may be the first to think of ocular comorbidities in his patients with atopic dermatitis.
Early detection of ocular involvement allows for early treatment and can prevent progression and complications. The role of dermatologist is discussed in detail in the text.
Interdisciplinary collaboration of dermatologist and ophtalmologist, eventually allergologist, is highly dessirable.
