Can keratitis damage my eye?

Question

It happened on my vacation and i didn't went to the doctor right away, because i assumed it was conjunctivitis (which i get very often) so i started with my regular therapy, eye drops. After 4 days the situation got worse and it felt like something was inside my eye so I went to the doctor.

I got herpes simplex virus... he gave me medications and it's ok now, but it still feels like its dry and my view is not clear

any of you had this? are there any complications and when it will be cured completely?

Answer 1

herpes can be serious in the eye and you should follow up with you doctor when symptoms start,  Herpes can reaccur and can even blind you.  Herpes in the eye can scar the cornea and this is probably why you dont see and well.  There is no cure for herpes virus.

Answer 2
