Besides, ocular involvement, such as blepharitis, keratoconjunctivitis, iritis, scleritis, and
acute retinal necrosis, may occur in patients with HZO.
The company intends to advance the same drug candidates or closely related variants for the treatment of "cold sores" (orolabial herpes, primarily caused by HSV-1); genital ulcers caused by HSV-2, external eye infections caused primarily by HSV-1 (herpes keratitis), and internal ocular herpesvirus infections that are thought to lead to
acute retinal necrosis.

Eye floaters are associated with age greater than 50 years, diabetes, retinal tears, retinal detachment, moderate to severe nearsightedness (myopia), cataract surgery, YAG laser surgery after cataract surgery, injury to the eye, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, syphilis, toxoplasmosis, and
acute retinal necrosis. Primary or secondary tumors in the eye including lymphoma and leukemia are rare but may be associated with eye floaters.
Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a rapidly progressive condition with poor prognosis, and leads to vision loss in the majority of cases.
Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a rare but well-recognized infectious uveitis resulting in rapidly progressive necrosis.
External ocular motor palsies involving third, fourth and sixth cranial nerves are frequent in acute HZO if carefully evaluated but are usually self limiting.5 Posterior segment complications of HZO include retinal perivasculitis, optic neuritis,
acute retinal necrosis and progressive outer retinal necrosis.
A combination of arterial and venous vasculitis occurs in Behcet's disease, syphilis, toxoplasmosis and
acute retinal necrosis. Chorioretinal scars are associated with toxoplasmosis and sarcoidosis.
