Eye Herpes Treatment

Treatment

The treatment for this infection depends where this infection is located in the eyes – in the iris, corneal epithelium, retina; corneal stroma etc. if in case, the ocular infection is external than doctors treat it by using anti viral ointments or eye drops or antiviral pills. At times, he may treat the eye infection by scuffing the infected corneal epithelial cells with a corneal spatula instrument or cotton swab.

Steroid drops decrease the infection and thwart the corneal scarring when the eye infection develops into the deeper corneal layers.
