🔷Herpes Simplex Virus Keratitis🔷
👉 HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus) keratitis is an infection of the cornea that is caused by HSV.
👉 HSV keratitis is a major cause of blindness worldwide.
👉The infection usually heals without damaging the eye, but more severe infections can lead to scarring of the cornea or blindness.
👉 Eye pain, tearing, redness, a feeling like a foreign object is in the eye (foreign body sensation), and sensitivity to bright light are common symptoms.
👉 The more often the infection recurs, the more likely is further damage to the surface of the cornea.
👉 Several recurrences may result in the formation of deep ulcers, permanent scarring, blood vessels that grow onto the cornea, and numbness of the eye surface.
