Antiviral Therapy for HSV Keratitis Acyclovir • Oral regimen is as effective as topical antivirals • No ocular toxicity • Systemic Acyclovir is preferred over topical agents especially in pediatric patients, patients with already-existing ocular surface disease, and immunocompromised patients Other effective antivirals include Valacyclovir and Famiciclovir.
