  1. Impression/Plan:
    1. Recurrent HSV keratitis OD
    - continue Acyclovir 200 BID po, PF qd OD
    - rtc 6 mos or sooner if decrease in vision or increase redness/photophobia

    2. h/o occludable angles OU, s/p LPI OU c revisions OU
    - LPI OS not patent
    - IOP today: 16/18 (last 14/14)
    - continue with glc clinic 6 mos for VF; 1 yr for DFE, OCT, photos

    3. Cataracts OU: NVS currently, observe

    f/u 6 mos cornea/uveitis, 6 mos glaucoma

    Per glaucoma specialist chart same day: no change in ONH appearance or VF. RTC 1-2 weeks for revision LPI OS. No apparent steroid response OD.

    OU cornea/uveitis specialist prefers oral acyclovir and trifluridine ung (vs gtts due to toxicity) for active epithelial keratitis.
    Most will resolve without recurrence.
    For actively recurring/chronic stromal disease, keep on low maintenance dose of acyclovir po until quiet, then f/u every 6 mos.
    Have had good success with RoseK2IC (irregular cornea) GP for post-herpetic corneas.
