Core Tip	Our minireview is based on herpes simplex keratitis. This type of corneal viral infection is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), which can affect several tissues, including the cornea and deeper uvea. Its ability to remain dormant for extended periods and reactivate with serious morbid ocular presentation makes it an important pathogen to be reviewed. The body’s immune response to HSV is another potential cause of herpes simplex keratitis. Clinical management is short-term and long-term to prevent reactivation. Clinicians should be informed about triggers and advised on measures to minimize the risk of reactivation.
