    Journal: Trans Ophthalmol Soc U K (1962); 1983; 103 ( Pt 1)():111-4. PubMed ID: 6362108.
    Abstract:
    The effect of acyclovir on the skin rash and herpes zoster keratouveitis has been studied. It has been shown to have a significant effect on both disease processes, and to be superior to topical steroids in the treatment of herpes zoster keratouveitis. Steroids have been found to have an adverse effect with prolonged treatment and frequent recurrences.
