acyclovir is an antiviral medication used to treat infections caused by certain herpes viruses. In eye care, it is commonly used when herpes viruses affect the eyelids, conjunctiva, cornea, or deeper eye tissues. It does not “kill” viruses instantly, but it helps limit viral replication so the infection can settle. It is used in both outpatient and hospital settings, depending on severity.
