Beware of Scams

Often times internet companies will say they are offering a free trial and all you have to do is pay shipping.

Some times they do not even ship the trial. Other times, if you do not read the fine print you find that shortly after the trial they automatically charge your credit card.

What is Herpes of the Eye?

Herpes of the eye, or Ocular Herpes, is a common and chronic viral infection caused by type-one herpes simplex. Type-one herpes is usually responsible for cold sores on the lips and face.

Ocular Herpes typically manifests itself in the cornea (the transparent coat that shields the iris and pupil). However, the virus may also affect the eyelids or, less often, the retina and interior regions of the eye. Less severe cases usually heal without any long-term ramifications; however, if the virus manages to affect deeper levels of the cornea, the disease can result in scarring, impaired vision, or even blindness. Over 400,000 individuals currently suffer from Ocular Herpes within the U.S. alone.

Symptoms

Signs of Ocular Herpes include swelling, pain, redness, sensitivity to light, cloudiness of the cornea, blurred vision, irritation, or the sensation that a foreign object is in the afflicted eye. Anyone who is experiencing such symptoms or similar discomfort is urged to seek the advice of a medical professional as soon as possible. If properly treated early on, the virus is less likely to cause any long-term damage.

Causes

Typically, Ocular Herpes is contracted during the early years of childhood, but it remains dormant. Consequently, many people are never aware that they carry the virus.Ocular Herpes is spread through contact with other infected individuals or contamination from cold sores on the skin. Stress related factors such as a fever or major surgery, which weaken the body's immune system, may be responsible for the initial outbreak, after which there's about a 50% chance of the virus recurring.

Treatment

Treatment for Ocular Herpes varies depending on the severity of the infection. Eye drops or oral medication may be used to treat mild corneal afflictions. Debridement (in which the infection is gently wiped away) is another possibility.

In more serious cases where the virus has spread into deeper areas, steroid drops may be required in addition to antiviral medication. Or, in instances of corneal scarring, it may be necessary to surgically repair the damage.Worst case scenarios may demand a corneal transplant (a safe and routine procedure in which the damaged tissue is fully or partially replaced).

Currently, there is not yet a cure for the herpes virus. However, although there is no vaccine to completely eradicate Ocular Herpes, it can be controlled with proper medication.
