“…One small prospective study evaluated the effect of acyclovir on the outcome of penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) for HSV; they reported a decrease in recurrences of HSV among those patients receiving a longer course of therapy (3 weeks compared to 1 year) 8 . The timing of surgery may also play a role in the prognosis, as performing keratoplasty in a scarred, non-inflammatory state may result in a better prognosis 9 …”
Most respondents report following evidence-based guidelines. There was less consensus in areas where there are remaining knowledge gaps, such as the length of antiviral prophylaxis after keratoplasty and the potential role for topical cyclosporine.
