Abstract
Answer A. Topical aciclovir
Treatment of herpetic eye disease includes oral anti-viral medication for 7 days. If there is apparent ocular involvement, topical treatment with aciclovir or ganciclovir 5 times a day is recommended. They should also see an ophthalmologist. Chloramphenicol should not be used unless secondary infection is suspected. Sodium cromoglicate is used for irritating eye symptoms from hay fever and timolol is used in primary open angle glaucoma. There is no role for topical daktacort in herpetic eye disease.
