Core Tip Viral infections of the ocular surface are prevalent and significant contributors to corneal and conjunctival disorders globally. The herpes simplex virus is a primary cause of infectious corneal blindness, adenoviruses are responsible for epidemic conjunctivitis outbreaks, cytomegalovirus is increasingly acknowledged as a cause of keratitis in immunocompetent individuals, and human papillomavirus plays a role in ocular surface squamous neoplasia. Progress in molecular virology, immunology, and diagnostics is transforming comprehension and management, while novel antivirals, immunotherapies, and vaccines present new avenues for prevention and treatment.
