The effect of interferon with an antiviral agent or an antiviral agent with debridement needs further assessment. Stromal keratitis
Herpetic stromal keratitis is treated initially with prednisolone drops every 2 hours
accompanied by a prophylactic antiviral drug: either topical antiviral or an oral agent such as acyclovir or valacyclovir. The prednisolone drops are tapered every 1–2 weeks depending on the degree of clinical improvement. Topical antiviral medications are not absorbed by the cornea through an intact epithelium, but orally administered acyclovir penetrates an intact cornea and anterior chamber. In this context, oral acyclovir might benefit the deep corneal inflammation of disciform keratitis. Metaherpetic ulcer
Treatment includes artificial tears and eye lubricants, stopping toxic medications, performing punctal occlusion, bandage contact lens and amniotic membrane transplant. These measures intend to improve corneal epithelial healing. Antiviral medication may reduce the risk of HSV keratitis recurring in people having a graft due to HSV infection and may improve the chances of graft survival. References
