As a result of herpes simplex virus reactivation with holoxan in rabbit reconvalescents with acute primary herpetic keratoconjunctivitis, the ophthalmic herpes relapse was observed and it was characterized by a more severe and prolonged course with longterm viremia and generalization of the infection. In the survived animals the chronic, recurrent ophthalmic herpes was developed.

Herpes zoster Ophthalmicus (HZO) affecting the ophthalmic division (V1) of the trigeminal nerve. HZO may cause extraocular muscle palsies, with the third nerve being the most commonly affected and the fourth nerve the least. The combined involvement of the optic nerve and isolated paralysis of the eye muscle is very rare, with only limited case reports documenting this complication of ocular herpes zoster.

Purpose: To report the surgical approach of a Lucia keratoprosthesis (KPro) on a sclerocorneal graft in the setting of recurrent graft rejection and perilimbal scleral thinning.
Methods: A case report.
Results: We report the case of a 26-year-old man with a history of herpes simplex keratitis, 2 penetrating keratoplasties, graft failure, secondary glaucoma, and a conjunctival flap in the right eye who underwent a Lucia KPro, lens extraction, glaucoma drainage device, and pars plana vitrectomy.

Background: Blepharoconjunctivitis poses a diagnostic challenge due to its diverse etiology, including viral infections. Blepharoconjunctivits can be acute or chronic, self-limiting, or needing medical therapy.
Aim: To review possible viral agents crucial for accurate differential diagnosis in cases of blepharoconjunctivitis.
JAG1 mediates apoptosis in herpes simplex keratitis by suppressing autophagy via ROS/JAG1/NOTCH1/pULK1 signaling pathway.

Herpes simplex keratitis (HSK), an ocular disease resulted from herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection, leads to the majority of infectious corneal blindness worldwide. The apoptosis of corneal epithelial cells (CECs) resulted from HSV-1 disrupts the epithelial barrier and exacerbates the infection; however, there is no definitive cure for HSK. Jagged1 (JAG1), one of the primary functional ligands for NOTCH receptors, plays a crucial role in regulating apoptosis and autophagy; however, its role in HSK is unclear.

Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) is the primary cause of infectious blindness. Despite impressive therapeutic outcomes of conventional treatments, HSV-1 drug resistance can be easily developed. Thus, more constructive strategies should be implemented.
