ABSTRACT
Ocular herpes, mostly affected by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV),
which was a significant root cause of corneal ailment and vision loss across the globe.[1,5] Intermittent disease,
stromal irritation, and neuro-ophthalmic complexities promote substantially extended visual disability.[1,4,5]
Enhanced outcomes were seen through several advances in antiviral therapy, molecular diagnostics and
interventional pain management. So far, challenges remain periodic in antiviral resistance and post-therapeutic
neuralgia.[1–3,8] This study integrates the documentation from ten associates who evaluated the research studies
published in Elsevier, ScienceDirect- listed journals, to give a detailed summary of epidemiology,
pathophysiology, diagnostic procedures, clinical profile, therapeutic strategies, and drawbacks of ocular herpes.[1–
10] Long-term antiviral prevention, statistical PCR-based diagnostics, management of herpes zoster ophthalmicus,
and developing advancements for unmanageable pain and unusual complications are more prominent.[1–3,5,8–10]
Keywords: Ocular herpes; Herpes simplex keratitis; Herpes zoster ophthalmicus.
