    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Herpetic keratitis is a significant cause of corneal disease.
    • Atopy is a common comorbidity that may influence disease presentation and severity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of bilateral herpetic keratitis.
    • To identify risk factors and complications associated with herpetic keratitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective evaluation of 30 patients with bilateral herpetic keratitis.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, clinical findings, and visual acuity outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • 40% of patients had atopy.
    • Stromal keratitis occurred in 40% of eyes, and recurrent ulceration in 68%.

  • 17% of eyes experienced vision decrease to 6/60 or less due to corneal opacification.

    • Conclusions:

    • Bilateral herpetic keratitis can lead to severe visual impairment.
    • Atopy is prevalent in this patient group, suggesting a potential link.
    • High rates of recurrence and secondary infections necessitate vigilant management.
